Hiking in Northern California L.E.A.D. 2017 William “Bill” Dailey, Troop 21, Scott Kubik, Bruce Mcgurk Hiking in Northern California L.E.A.D. 2017 William “Bill” Dailey, Troop 21, Scott Kubik, Bruce McGurk In every walk with nature, one receives far more than he seeks. ~ John Muir, 1913 Hiking Merit Badge – 1921 Course Objectives: Today, We will discuss. I. Hydration, essential items for hiking and basic hiking safety II. Estimating how long a hike will take III. Local council hiking programs including: Trail Trekkers, Highlander, and Rim Rovers IV. Historical hikes and the BSA Historic Trails Award. V. As many other hiking trails and hiking areas as time will allow. Although the goal of your hiking program can be just to “get out and hike,” hikes can incorporate map and compass skills, Leave No Trace principles, nature identification, and education of an area’s historical significance. A formal unit hiking program puts at the forefront, scouting’s fundamental nature of being outdoors, cooperation, health and fitness, perseverance, and a positive attitude. Today, we will be focusing primarily on two local councils, Mount Diablo Silverado Council (MDSC) and the San Francisco Bay Area Council (SFBAC) and the established hiking programs they have. Both councils use a patch system used for recognition of completion of each hike with a large base patch earned after the first hike and then smaller rocker patches for each individual hike completed. Patches are worn on the red Cub Scout vest and/or jacket (i.e., not on the Class A uniform), and on the sash for Scouts. Remember, that earning of a patch should not be the reason for completing a hike; rather, the patch should be a reminder of a Scouting event, hopefully fun. Please request a Local Tour Permit at least one week prior to your hike. A copy of your Tour Permit may be required for purchase of patches.

Even a mild level of dehydration can make hiking a lot less fun. Your body can only absorb so much water at a time. Do not wait until you are feeling thirsty to start replacing fluids and electrolytes. By the time you feel thirsty, you are already dehydrated. Courtesy Please instruct your Scouts on the need to observe and obey the regulations that are in effect in National, State, and Regional Parks. On some trips you will be given the courtesy of passing across private property. Please repay these people's trust by keeping the area free of litter, respecting their property, and leaving the gates as you find them. Clean up and pack out any litter you may come upon. Perpetuate the good turn ideal. You will probably eat your lunch at or near the summit; be sure all bags, cans, etc., are packed out with you. Essentials for Hiking Basic Hiking Safety: • DON’T GET LOST! Plan ahead; know where you’re going. • Bring plenty of water, 1 pint of water for each hour of hiking. Never drink untreated water. • Bring a trail map with you and stick to the established trail. • Choose a trail which is appropriate for the length of time you have. • Always tell someone where you are going and when you will return. • Never hike alone or at night; always use the buddy system. • Practice Leave No Trace and follow the Outdoor Code. • Dress properly for the weather and environment. • Keep your feet dry. Wet feet become irritated and uncomfortable. • Wear sun and insect protection. • Avoid hiking along roadways. • Be alert to your surroundings: animals, insects, and plants. • IF YOU GET LOST, stay where you are. Estimating how long a hike will take: Your average hiking speed will vary according to your conditioning and hiking experience. Besides personal differences, different trails will have a huge impact on your hiking speed. Some trails are at a higher elevation, which decreases the amount of oxygen replenishing your muscles. Sand or gravel can make hiking more difficult as well. Some hikes are more rugged, and while they may not go very high in elevation, you may constantly be climbing or descending small hills along the way. With all these considered: Most hikers will average about 2-3 miles per hour Use this average to calculate your estimated time. Trail Trekkers - SFBC This program offers a series of hikes which range in demand from all levels of hikers including Cub Scouts (6-11 years) and their families, to more physically demanding, and more appropriate for Webelos-age boys.

Presidio Historic Trail SFBC San Francisco Bay Area Council established the Presidio Historic Trail Program over four decades ago. The Boy Scout Historic Trail Program was first established when Scouting had an official campsite on Rob Hill, with the distinctive round Trail Award featuring the Spanish Captain in helmet. The shorter Cub Scout Trail day hike was established with its own patch featuring the view of the Golden Gate Bridge in the early 1980’s. Cub Scout Historic Trail (approximately 3.5 miles) ♦ Begin at Presidio Museum (originally an Army Hospital), and proceed southwest on Funston Avenue. Turn right and head northwest on Moraga Avenue, passing the Officers Club. ♦ Turn right at the Flag Pole, observing the old cannons and the original Spanish Presidio Fort. Visit the Visitors Center on the Main Parade Ground (restrooms and interesting exhibits here). ♦ Turn left on Sheridan Avenue; proceed west to Lincoln Blvd. Stop at San Francisco National Cemetery for prayer or meditation and acknowledgement of deceased veterans serving to our country. ♦ Continue west on Lincoln Blvd.; turn right on Crissy Field Avenue.

    Pinole Creek Watershed Sediment Source Assessment January 2005 Prepared by the San Francisco Estuary Institute for USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service and Contra Costa Resource Conservation District San Francisco Estuary Institute The Regional Watershed Program was founded in 1998 to assist local and regional environmental management and the public to understand, characterize and manage environmental resources in the watersheds of the Bay Area. Our intent is to help develop a regional picture of watershed condition and downstream effects through a solid foundation of literature review and peer- review, and the application of a range of science methodologies, empirical data collection and interpretation in watersheds around the Bay Area. Over this time period, the Regional Watershed Program has worked with Bay Area local government bodies, universities, government research organizations, Resource Conservation Districts (RCDs) and local community and environmental groups in the Counties of Marin, Sonoma, Napa, Solano, Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo, and San Francisco. We have also fulfilled technical advisory roles for groups doing similar work outside the Bay Area. This report should be referenced as: Pearce, S., McKee, L., and Shonkoff, S., 2005.

  • The F Street Trailhead Is a Hidden Gateway & How the Franklin Hills
    View of the Franklin Hills and the canyon above F Street from above the track at Alhambra High School (Photo by Seth Adams, 5-2020) The F Street Trailhead is a Hidden Gateway & How the Franklin Hills Were Saved F Street Trailhead, Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline By Seth Adams, Co-Chairman, Thousand Friends of Martinez Hike Start: top of F Street Distance: 0.8 miles roundtrip, or longer Time: 45 minutes roundtrip, or longer Moderate hike What are the Franklin Hills? How were they saved? Why go there? They are the scenic backdrop for Martinez and its western border from Highway 4 to the Carquinez Strait. They’re a constant—everyone in Martinez loves them, whether you grew up or moved here—and they’ve resisted change. At the simplest we love them because they’re our backyard, they mean Martinez, and most of us see them every day. In May 2020 Martinez residents are sheltering in place from the coronavirus pandemic, luckily with nearby access to wonderful open spaces. Martinez is surrounded by four regional parks. The recently renamed Radke-Martinez Regional Shoreline to the north and Briones Regional Park to the south are the most well-known. Waterbird Regional Preserve is east across Highway 680. Carquinez Strait Regional Shoreline includes the Franklin Hills west of downtown. Most people who go there use the Nejedly staging area along Carquinez Scenic Drive, or the entrances further west where the George Miller Trail begins. Less well known is the F Street Trailhead at the south edge of Alhambra High School. This article is in two major parts.
