With any luck, by the time you read this, I will be setting up my tent next to a High Sierra lake somewhere over 9,000 feet.
For I will be leading 40 Boy Scouts on a 50-mile hike around the Desolation Wilderness next to Lake Tahoe. The vertical climb for this ambitious route is 6,300 feet, which we will cover in seven days. Bears are everywhere, so we will be hanging our food from trees at night.
Usually, I am hanging out at my chalet in Zermatt, Switzerland this time of year, watching climbers descend from the Matterhorn. However, because of our poor response to the Coronavirus, Americans are banned from Europe for the foreseeable future. We are just too dangerous to let in.
My pack weighs in at a featherlike 50 pounds, including five pounds of medical supplies and a fifth of Jack Daniels, for medicinal purposes only. Gentleman Jack is excellent for sterilizing animal bites, large cuts, and gunshot wounds, and has saved my life many times.
With 40 kids under my control ranging in age from 11-17, what could possibly go wrong? At least they don’t have rattlesnakes and poison oak in the High Sierras.
The hike should take no more than 40 hours, which will give me plenty of time to think of great trades for the second half. Hopefully, I will come back refreshed, invigorated, and 20 pounds lighter.
I deserve the time off.
