Hi All,
There was an inconsistency in the last blog posting regarding the meeting time for the hike this Saturday. We will meet at 10:00 am in the Garland Ranch parking lot rather than 10:30 am as mentioned at one point in the text of the message.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to text me at 831-236-7607.
Best regards,
Al

Please dress in layers since it may be cool at the start, but will warm up once we start hiking. Bring water, sunscreen and hats for the hike. If you want to picnic at the end of the hike, you can pack a light lunch or snacks.

We will meet in the parking lot at Garland Ranch at 10:00am, then walk to the Ranger Station to visit restrooms before the hike. The hike is around 2.5 miles and takes the Waterfall Trail to the Mesa pond, then loops back down again. It is listed as "easy to moderate". There are some steps and a steep climb for a short part of the trail. It is appropriate for Tigers, but if you are bringing younger children, you might consider taking a shorter loop around the park.

Pack 93 Summer Hike at Wilder Ranch--Saturday, July 20th
Could it really be July already? How could summer be going by so fast?
Before summer completely slips by, we thought it would be fun to get our scouts and families together for a hike at beautiful Wilder Ranch State Park, just north of Santa Cruz. Wilder Ranch is one of the hikes in the Monterey Bay Trekkers series, so scouts who participate will earn the patch for this hike.
The trek begins at the historic ranch house and dairy, then follows the coast for a two 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, July 20th at 10:30 am in the parking lot at the visitors center in the park. The location can be found at:
