Cora Lakes Backpacking Trip Report


The long hike is finally over but I bet a lot of scouts are still feeling sore from it. On Friday, August 13, we left for Strawberry Tungsten Mine from the Madera United Methodist Church. The mine was unavailable at the time so we changed our base camp location to Granite Creek Campground.

We found parts of the 5 mile uphill trail to be quite challenging. It was well worth it with the nice scenery and the cool lake, where Mr. Chadwick caught a 12 inch Rainbow Trout. All in all, it was a great first time experience for most of us. Scouts that attended were: Samuel, Tommy, Joshua, Jordan, Ethan, Jesus, Dalice, Jared, Elijah, Clayton, Juan, Ricky, Aaron, Zack, Taylor, Brandon.

Also big thanks to our adult leaders who also attended: Mr. Chadwick, Mr. Allen, Mr. Gong, Mr. Govett, Mr. Haney, Mr. Nishimoto, Mr. Sharp, Mr. Thelander, and Mr. J. Thornton.
