Dr. Bob Klein, SM-111, Arlington, VA, always keeps a detailed diary
during his High Adventure Treks. The diary's intended audience are the
Scouts and Advisors in his Crew(s), as a permanent record of the events
of the trip. Recently, his diaries have been published on the web in an
effort to help others interested in undertaking similar treks.
Because our Troop went to Philmont in 2000, we were ineligible to attend
the Ranch in 2001. So, instead, we planned an 18-day western adventure
in Utah, Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, featuring an 8-day, 50+ mile
backpacking trek in the Wind River Range in Wyoming - some of the most
wild, remote, and beautiful territory in the lower 48 states.
As we did with our 2000 Philmont diary, this year's diary includes
hyperlinks to photos of the trek (about 115) throughout the text. Each
of these photos pop up in a separate window, so they can be viewed
without losing one's place in the text. I hope you enjoy the final
product, and that you will consider a trek of your own to the Wind
Rivers.
Yours in Scouting, Brad Jones
