We have two great options for you and your scouts to get out and enjoy the outdoors on Saturday October 27th--a hike at Wilder Ranch near Santa Cruz and the "Zombie Run" in Pebble Beach. For either option you choose, please sign up on the Attendance Spreadsheet so we know who will participate!
Wilder Ranch Hike
This is a fabulous day hike at Wilder Ranch State Park, just north of Santa Cruz. This hike is one of the hikes in the Monterey Bay Trekkers series, so scouts who participate will earn the patch for this hike. The hike begins at the historic house and dairy, then follows the coast for a two and a half to three mile easy hike. Part of the trail follows high cliffs, so parents must walk with their children. A public tour of the farm house and some of the ranch buildings and facilities, which date back to the late 1800's is available at 1:00 pm, so that is an option for those who want to take advantage of the opportunity. We will plan to meet at 10:30 in the parking lot at the visitors center to allow enough time for the hike and a break for lunch before the tour.
More info regarding the park can be found at: http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=549
Please be aware there is a $10 per car entry fee to the state park so some of you may want to carpool. We also recommend you all bring lunch since we will be there from 10:30 am to about 2:30 pm (if you choose to go on the tour). We'll take a break to have lunch after the hike and before the tour.
Please sign up on the attendance spreadsheet for the hike if you plan to participate so we know how many hikers to expect. For those who will participate, be sure to bring water, sunscreen and a lunch/snacks.
We look forward to seeing many of you on Saturday, October 27th at 10:30 am in the parking lot at the visitors center in the park. The location can be found at:

ZOMBIE
RUN and Emergency Preparedness Fair at Pebble Beach.
This is a fun kid friendly event with two running courses:
the challenging 5K Zombie Crawl (think 3.1 miles of steep
hills) and the 2K Survivor Stroll (a flat mile that is perfect
for strollers and youngsters). After you complete your run, grab a post-race
snack provided by the event sponsors and drag yourself around the Emergency Preparedness
booths, you might learn something that could help you survive the next zombie
apocalypse or other disasters. There is also a "Quake Cottage"
earthquake simulator will be operating at the Emergency Preparedness Fair. It's
very educational and helps prepare kids for a real event.
