Jacob and his Scout Troop are going on an amazing hike/camp out to Durango -- Chicago Basin on July 20-26. They will be setting up a base camp and then scaling 3 of Colorado's "Fourteeners" -- Windom - 14,082 ft., Sunlight -- 14,059 ft. -- Eolus 14,083 ft.
We have been accumulating equipment (Kraig is going also) and this weekend was the first of many "prep" camp outs and practice hikes.
His "stuff" is really cool (not to mention REALLY EXPENSIVE!!!) and he was really excited. He has almost everything he will need except more food and more clothes for that week. His pack weighed 29lbs ... so not too bad. Of course my biggest fear as a mother is him falling off a cliff. Randy Smith his leader promised there would be no "cliff diving."

He looks like such a grown up man child! I love that kid. I can't believe he and Kraig are really doing those hikes - that is awesome! So did you get him a spork - knife fork spoon utensil? I love mine.
I think Jacob has my exact back-pack! Looks like it at least. I'm SO.O.OOO. jealous. I wish I was there doin it with him!
