Clackamas River Riverside Trail #723

Backpack and Fishing Trip:

This backpacking and fishing trip is orientated for all scouts.  We will be backpacking approximately 4 miles to the Riverside Campground. Though not a wilderness area we would like to limit the party to 12 people.  The first nine scouts and three adults will have the opportunity to spend the afternoon fishing for trout in the upper Clackamas and Collarwash rivers.  

We will be practicing Leave No Trace guidelines, so plan on bringing your trowel. 

We will be leaving Friday evening and camping at a the Rainbow campground near the trailhead. After a nice breakfast, pack up and hike to Riverside Campground.  We will have the opportunity to fish, hike or explore. Saturday evening we can sample the trout cooked in the campfire. 

If you plan on fishing, you will need a trout rod and a method of fastening it to your pack. Bring some extra snelled hooks, spit weights, power bait, rooster tails or some garden hackle (earthworms). Do not bring your fathers expensive fishing gear.  If you need help with a rod and reel, please see me. I will also bring my backpacking fly rod and you can try your hand at fly-fishing.

Pack a brown bag dinner Friday night.  You are expected to carry your own equipment plus a share of patrol equipment. We will be planning meals May 29th.

Fort Stevens Overnight Bike Trip

Troop 799 Tigard Oregon

 

 

 

 Fort Stevens was a coastal defense fort and saw active service from the Civil War days to the end of World War II.

 

Image Detail

 

 

The Peter Iredale was a four-masted steel barque sailing vessel that ran ashore October 25, 1906, on the Oregon coast en route to the Columbia River. The Oregon Coast saw the bombardment of the U.S. mainland from Japanese submarines during the World War II when several shells were fired at Battery Russell on June 20, 1942. Though the wrecked Peter Iredale was in the line of fire, no damage was done to it.

Over a century since it ran aground, the remains of the Peter Iredale's rusted bow and masts are still visible jutting out of the sand

These are a couple of the sites we will see during our stay and bike ride.  This is a great outing to work on rank advancement and merit badges for all ages.  We will camp at four campsites using troop or personal tents.  We will be taking our bikes which we will use to tour most of the camp ground, taking a couple of 10-15 mile excursions.  This is usually one of our favorite outings.

Date: May 18th-20nd, 2012

We will meet on Friday May 18th, 5:00pm at Calvin Presbyterian.

Cost is $35.00
