DUG,
I am a fellow Scouter planning a 50-miler for 2010. Any good ideas for a Eastern Sierra route? Thinking of going in at OV or Horseshoe with a side trip up a 14'er or two. I posted on the WPS but thought with this thread maybe I could get some input.
Thanks in advance!
A lot of troops get their 50 miler coming out of OV and going up Whitney. For a 20 miler I'm taking a couple boys out of OV to Roads End in Kings Canyon one way. There is just so much to do in that area you can't go wrong. Transportation is the biggest headache - some parents just don't want to do their part sadly. When we did the PCT 20 miler it was just the Scoutmaster and myself driving - made for a couple interesting trips between trailheads as we set the shuttle up. My truck holds 6, his truck holds 5. There were 7 of us that day.
In June or July we will be headed back up to the Portal. We will probably just go up to Meysan Lakes and explore. The burgers and pancakes will keep us coming back for years to come, I'm sure.
