Labor Day Weekend Bike/Hike/Campout

For the Labor Day Bike Hike 2010, the scouts mountain biked the old Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) trail from Mt Si to the Middle Fork Campground, 12 miles of very rugged trail.  The trail required team work in places to portage bikes over huge landslide obstacles.  After camping overnight the scouts learned about selective fishing regulations for catch and release fishing, and spent the morning fishing in the Taylor River.  Then in the afternoon, biked partly up the Taylor River trail, then switched to hiking, ending at Otter Falls and Lipsey Lake.  After hiking/biking back to camp the scouts camped overnight.  The following morning the scouts tried their luck fishing in the North Fork of the Snoqualmie River.  

Scouts in attendance were: Alex W, John M, Rex O, Max O, Igor B, and Dmytro B. Weather wise, the first day was a nice dry day, but by evening it started raining and did not stop for the next two days.  But the scouts kept their spirits high and made a great trip of it nonetheless.
