P.S. BEWARE of the TICK Season, we had 4 people who found ticks on them after the hike. Use your repellents and tuck in clothing and wear light colored clothing when hiking. With the mild winter, I think the insects may be a little problem this year.

"Dear Hikers, I would 1st like to thank all who showed up for the hike at Johnson's Woods in Orrville 0n the 29th of January. Twelve people showed up on that windy day. We walked on a boardwalk that led us through the preserve of 300 year old trees. We did learn of a specie of bird called an OVENBIRD. A lot of us had not heard of such bird. It is also called a Water Thrush and is in the Warbler Family. It gets it's name from it's nest building, it looks like an oven. Here we made jokes thinking it was a type of chicken or Turkey served for dinner. We walked around the preserve a couple of times, different ways maybe a 3mile walk. When we returned back to the parking lot it started to snow huge snowflakes and covered the ground completely and beautifully while we sat by a big bay window and ate. We ate at Dravenstotts in Orrville and had a great time. Thank you again, may the forest be with you. Greg Gottshall"

Past Backpacking Trips

2012

Apr 27-29 - Backpacking Trip to Quebec Run Wild Area, PA -- cancelled due to lack of interest and weather forecast.
Mar 23-25 - Bill M. led a group of nine to Lamping Homestead (OH) Point 18 - BTA Road Fork Section
Feb 24-26 - Bill M. led a group of four to Oil Creek, PA - [map]. We ended up with only 4 hikers venturing out on this Winter trip which meant that we could all go in one car. ~ The drive over to Oil Creek included a stop at Kings for dinner. We arrived Friday evening about 9:30 PM. Parking at the access road to our shelter was as far as the road was plowed. There was about 3 inches of snow on the ground and the promise of some more overnight. We arrived at the shelter to find that there was no split wood normally present at the shelters, but there was cut logs and a maul at the wood shelter. We arranged the tarps over the openings aside the fireplace and worked to get a nice fire going by the time we turned in. Through the night, the wind picked up and more snow fell with some mist blowing into the shelter but not enough to be a bother. ~ On Saturday, we had breakfast and got an early start heading back to the car. There was now about 7 inches of snow on the steep unplowed road, but we were confident the car could manage to get out so we continued on to the trail crossing on Miller road. We hiked down the road to the paved bike trail for our counterclockwise trek to Cow Run Shelter. Anytime the wind picked up, the snow fell from the trees sometimes quite intense. The forest was beautiful with snow on all the limbs of the trees. After crossing the bike bridge over Cow Run Creek, we followed the railroad tracks avoiding the trudge up and down one hill. From there, we had a very pleasant hike on trail to the shelter. ~ At Cow Run Shelter, there was a volunteer couple splitting wood who even offered their wagon for us to supply the shelter's fuel. We had the tarps up and the shelter warmed up nicely. After supper, we traded off the spots in front of the fire and enjoyed the evening. Saturday night was far less windy and we got a couple more inches of snow. We had reserved a second shelter expecting more than 4 people on the trip, so when I saw a couple guys considering the extra shelter, I told them that I had it reserved with no plans to use so they were welcome to use it without concern. They almost couldn't believe their good fortune. ~ On Sunday, the trail had more evidence of travel and the warmer weather was working on the snow. We had no problems driving out for another meal at Kings before heading home. ~ Over all, it was better than we could normally hope for on a February trip. Bill Miller

Backpackers' Trip Blanket Release Form

  As a participant in overnight trips, I am in physical, mental and emotional readiness for the rigors of the experience. As a participant in outdoor adventure sports, I realize that the fun of these sports holds certain hazards and inconveniences. I realize that I am dealing with the forces of nature and that I am dependent on myself alone to survive safely. I have adequately prepared and equipped myself for the challenges of such adventure. And deviation from equipment recommended by the trip leader is my decision, at my own risk.

  I hold harmless The Wilderness Center and the Backpacking Club, their officers, staff, and associates; the trip leaders; and fellow participants; from any physical, mental, or emotional injury which results from participating in a trip. I ask that all relatives, heirs, insurance carriers, and all others consider this document morally, if not legally, binding. I ask that they also hold harmless The Wilderness Center and the Backpacking Club officers, staff, associates; trip leaders; fellow participants; from any injury which results in participating in a trip.

  I agree that if the trip leader determines I am not prepared for the rigors of the trip, or that I am not properly equipped, then I will agree not to participate.

General Club Policy

All members must have a signed policy and blanket release on file.
It is expected that participants will voluntarily judge their own abilities for a given trip. Not all trips are suitable for all members. Trip difficulties range from leisurely to strenuous off-trail bushwhacks. Trips will be rated for difficulty and/or experience level; however, changing weather conditions and time of year can easily change these ratings within hours. If you are unsure, ask trip leaders or other experienced club members.
It is recommended that new club members and/or guests seek out the trip leaders and/or other club members prior to the first tip so we may ascertain your level of competence.
You are expected to be self-reliant and prepared physically, mentally, and emotionally. Each individual is expected to have appropriate equipment for the given trip. The backpacking club will provide a minimum equipment list required as requested.
Participants must inform trip leader if they are planning to go on an overnight trip. They must inform trip leader of any condition that would affect their abilities. Trip leaders have the right to request that the unprepared or ill equipped person not participate on a given trip for safety reasons. Anyone coming unprepared jeopardizes their own health and safety and because of the extra burden, jeopardizes the health and safety of all other participants.
Club members sometimes organize additional major backpack trips. The extended nature of these trips involves considerably more planning and preparedness than the usual weekend outing, and also presents the potential for increased danger. For these trips, the trip leaders or planning committee may set their own criteria to judge the suitability of participants to help insure everyone's safety, health and enjoyment. Special needs for equipment, physical conditioning, etc. may also be required. On many trips, participants may be limited in number because of trail regulations, ecological concerns, or to be consistent with minimum impact camping guidelines.
Alcohol, illegal drugs, fireworks, firearms, and weapons are not permitted on club trips. ~~This is a Wilderness Center policy, which affects all associated clubs.~~
Good backpacking manners preclude bring "boom boxes", gasoline lanterns, and other items which detract from the wilderness experience of the group. If you insist on bringing a cell phone, the ringers must be turned off.
Parents or legal guardians are responsible for and must accompany minors. An adult with written permission and written authorization for emergency medical treatment may accompany a minor in place of a parent or legal guardian. Adult must confirm with the trip leader in advance. Trip leader has the right to request they not come.
After their first trip, all participants wishing to continue are expected to become members of The Wilderness Center and the Backpacking and Dayhikers Club. Dues for the backpacking club are set by the Executive Committee and are collected for each address to which materials are sent this covers the cost of mailings and some long-distance telephone calls required in trip planning. Dues are requested each January and are due at the time a person joins the club. They are not prorated.
The TWC Backpackers and Dayhikers support the concept of minimum impact camping. All participants are expected to show sincere concern for protecting the ecological and scenic integrity of the places we visit.
Each individual is responsible for bringing his or her own first aid kit. Items suggested for the first aid kit are included in the equipment list.
Each individual is required to complete a personal medical information card and keep it in his or her pack on all club trips. The card will be provided by the trip leaders.

Approved by Club membership at the regular meeting on 3/16/90; to be effective 4/20/90.
