After planning it for over a year, on August 15th we left on the biggest expedition ever for Troop 24 - an 11 day backpacking trip in the Bridger Wilderness in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming. It's close to a thousand miles to the trailhead, near Pinedale, Wyoming - a two day drive. It was quite an adventure with plenty of excitement, both good and bad. For a more detailed story than the descriptions under the photos in the albums, click on the links to the narratives given in the albums.
Adults on this trip:
Bill Mooseker, Charlie Walker, Greg Phillips, Bill Peckinpaugh
Scouts on this trip:
Jason Smith, Adam Phillips, Brian Sisk, Jon Younger, Andrew Mooseker, Danny Stallings, Peter Goodwin, Kyle Meissner, Cary Walker, Austin Peckinpaugh, Roger Shively
The descriptions under the photo thumbnails in the album sometimes contain links to maps or additional information. These are identified by "Blue” text for links. I've also inserted links to Google Maps to show where certain photos in the album were taken or to locate features shown in the photos. Click on the link, close the sidebar, and choose satellite view. Basically, you can then zoom in and out using the mouse wheel or drag the map by clicking and holding.
Back in 1998 these photos were scanned in at low resolution due to restricted bandwidth from using dial-up modem speeds. I have since rescanned in my negatives at high resolution. These have titles starting with "1998-xxx-xxx.jpg". Photos with titles starting with "brxx.jpg" remain in their original low resolution format. Those photos were taken by Brian Sisk and Jason Smith.
