Bill Gehring and I went on a Packing Clinic/ Pack Trip with Rock Creek Pack Station near Bishop, CA from July 4th thru July 9th in the Mono Creek area of the John Muir Wilderness. We had a great time and learned a lot. There was one other student Bob Mazone from Frazier Park, CA and four crew members from Rock Creek Pack Station on the trip.
