Backpacking Sections Begins

Hello Wild Oregon B families-

We just heard from Wild Oregon B and they are about to head out on their 4 day, 26 mile backpacking section. They have elected to front load this section with the hardest day being the first today. They will be taking the Ruckle Creek Trail up to the Benson Plateau. All in all they will gain about 3,300 ft in elevation and conquer 7 miles of trail. Day 2 will take them to Whatum Lake, Day 3 they will hike to 7 & 1/2 mile camp and on Day 4 they will hike out. The last 2 days will be filled with old growth forest and incredible waterfalls. We will not hear from the group unless there is an emergency, so we won't be able to update this blog again until we hear from them on July 19th. We look forward to hearing how this group performs in the backcountry. Stay tuned!
