Baden-Powell

Beautiful morning for Baden-Powell from Vincent Gap with wonderful friends and co-Challengers. My second visit this year and I already completed the Challenge, but thought I’d throw out a condition report: Only 4 large mounds of snow left on the trail and can be crossed or walked around without micro spikes. Three large trees have fallen across the trail since early January with the first a bit challenging because it is large and slippery.

And yeah, a plug for Heritage Hiking Club (https://www.facebook.com/groups/heritagehikingclub/) and our trail boss, Bill Furey, one of your SoCal Challenge ambassadors (https://socialhiker.net/ambassador-spotlight-bill-furey/). If you want some soul-care and camaraderie, come join us!
