Winter Camping - Weather Update! 3:45p Friday.Right now, the rain/ice line appears to be just north of Broadcreek. It will likely inch south as the evening gets colder. That means the last 25 miles of the trip to Broadcreek is likely to have a wintry mix of rain, snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Even here in Crofton we've had a little sleet so far. That's no fun to drive in, but traffic won't be going anywhere fast either, so it will be a slow trip no matter what.
Here is the Pack 731 plan:
Our Winter Camping trip is still on. We have people already on their way to Broadcreek so we will be opening up camp for the night. You are welcome to make your way up there with us, though I'm sure it will be a slog to get there. There will be a contingent meeting at CES at 5:30p to start the journey. When we get there, cabins will be awaiting (dryness!).
If you do not feel comfortable driving up in the wintry mix expected this evening, don't. Be safe, rather than sorry. You can join us tomorrow morning at the campsite. The Boy Scouts are leaving at 5:30am, as an example. If you are waiting until tomorrow and you are the one with the food for your cabin, PLEASE get the food to someone who is leaving tonight! Thanks.
Scouting...always an adventure.
