Crater Lake Snowshoe Trip to be rescheduled.
After consultation with Weather Services, Crater Lake National Park, Crater Lake Resort, Chair Scott Nelson and parents; we have made the decision to postpone this weekend’s Snowshoe Trip to Crater Lake National Park to a date to be set. I am sorry for this late notice and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you had planned to go on the trip, please email back to rushhoag@comcast.net your receipt of this troop email so that we can confirm that everyone signed up for the trip received notice of the postponement.
Safety is paramount and there are some hazardous road conditions reported approaching the area of Crater Lake National Park and in the Park, including ice sheeting under snow on the roadways. The Oregon chain late is being strictly enforced. With new snow in the last day and a storm coming in tomorrow through the weekend, Crater Lake expects another foot or more of snow through the weekend. The Visitor's Center down below is closed this winter for restoration and with the last three miles of road to the rim closed, we would not have access to the gift shop and cafe at the rim. So at this time only the administration building and restrooms are open across the street from the Visitor's Center. There is no realistic expectation that the road to the lake rim can be opened for this weekend with another storm coming in.
We look forward to rescheduling with Crater Lake Resort and taking the trip at a later time with improved conditions and an opportunity to snowshoe at the rim in site of Crater Lake. Thanks for your understanding,
6:30 p.m. Troop 100 Scout Drop In for Scout advancement requirements with leaders. (Quartermaster and put away the large Harvest Dinner Tarp.)
7:00 p.m. Troop Meeting - Crater Lake Snowshoe Departure Meeting with hypothermia instruction and first aid; principles of wick, wind, and warmth; layering and overheating, Cold Clothing Relay, nutrition that keeps us warm. We will take final signup for the snowshoe trip, but at this time we are assuming for logistics and lodging it will be the 13 youth and 11 adults who have signed up.
(If you missed last week's Cold Weather Clothing Swap, bring items to trade or giveaway that may no longer fit and look over the items we have collected to pick up something you need. This is a great time to bring what your family no longer fits into and see what you can pick up for the snowshoe trip this weekend and skiing at the end of February.)
At the troop meeting there will be a card to sign thanking Gail Dannen - grandmother of Troop 100 Eagle Scout Blake Dannen - for her generous donation to the troop over the holidays.
7:15 - 8:15 p.m. Parent Committee Breakout - Focus: Crater Lake Snowshoe and Mt. Bachelor Ski Trip Trip Planning, Administration of 2023 Adult YPT and position specific Training Requirements.
Saturday-Sunday, January 14-15, 2023, Crater Lake National Park Snowshoe Trip
Please arrive by 7:45 a.m. for an 8:00 a.m. departure from Wesley Church for the Crater Lake Snowshoe. All participants should bring their personal or rental snowshoes and a sack lunch for Saturday.
The plan is to travel as determined at the Parent Committee Meeting. (Either I-5 to Canyonville, then Highway 227 to Highway 62 to the south entrance of the National Park or alternatively Highway 58, 97, 138, 230, and 62 - usually the preferred route.) Adult drivers should have four wheel drive or front wheel drive vehicles and traction devices or carry chains. (The National Park requires traction devices or carry chains.)
This year there is a $20 admission in the winter at the park gate, unless you display a federal pass. After the Visitor's Center and lunch, we will snowshoe out along the rim. Overnight Saturday, January 14th will be at the Crater Lake Resort, 50711 OR-62, Chiloquin/Fort Klamath, Oregon with return on Sunday, January 15th after a final snowshoe.
Scouts will lodge overnight in the Resort's Hamilton Lodge where there is a fireplace/space heater, but concrete floor, so sleeping pads or air mattresses should be brought. At least five adjacent cabins (with the restrooms) will be staffed by adults, with details at the troop meeting. Crater Lake Resort is eight miles from the Park's south entrance plus the distance to the Visitor's Center and up to the rim for the snowshoe.
Due to the distance and winter driving conditions, we will be taking minimum gear and this will be a troop cook for dinner on Saturday, January 14 and breakfast on Sunday, January 15th, in the lodge at a $6. charge. Please pay at the time of departure; check or exact change is very helpful. Don't forget to bring your own sack lunch for Saturday!
The troop can arrange a half-price rate for any family wishing to stay an extra night at the Crater Lake Resort.
Rental snowshoes for the trip can be reserved at Berg's Ski Shop, 367 13th Avenue, Eugene. These will be individual rentals paid by you individually at personal expense, but charged at the rate of $10 per day of actual use for members of the Troop 100 Group. (Berg's is considering a lower group fee and this will be advised if allowed.) Ask Berg's to put tape on the equipment and mark your name on the tape for easy identification of equipment.
Scouts could go in any time now in advance with a parent to reserve, be sized, pay, and for the parent to sign the required release at Berg's. (A parent or guardian must sign.) Snowshoe rentals need to be picked up at Berg's on Friday, January 13th (11 a.m. - 6 p.m.) - the earlier the better to avoid the later afternoon crowd, but typically there is not much of a wait for snowshoes from their large supply. Returns must be made on Monday, January 16th before the 6:00 p.m. closing at Berg's, as they are closed on Sundays.
