Attention T2k scouts that are interested in STEM!  I established contact with Explorers Post 2112 (Get the refreence?  High coolness factor), and they invited ud to participate in some of their activities.  They have a program in which they attend on-site visits to local STEM companies, which is how I made the contact; I was on the discussion panel at their Illumina site visit last week.

Our next trek will be the Cedar Springs Trek from May 17-19. This will be a split trek. Trek A is for senior scouts, who will hike an 11 mi piece of the PCT near Idylwild. Trek B is suitable for less experienced scouts, who will hike the 4 mi Cedar Springs Trail. Both treks will spend the night at Cedar Springs, before hiking out for the return trip. Details are included in the attached trip description.

We have a very special guest speaker for our troop meeting tomorrow night. One year ago, Cory Amante set out to hike the Pacific Coast Trail. Covering 2,650 miles, hiking from Mexico to Canada. He was on the trail for over 5 months, and he has a slideshow of his adventure.
