Klondoree Campout Plan Part 2 1 of 8

Location
We are camping in a fairly developed (with fire rings) private camp ground along County Road 68 at Wellington Lake, south of Bailey. The camp area is at about 8,000 feet in elevation, so warm clothing for morning, evenings, and sleeping is important.

As can be seen in the following map, we will have nearby access to potable water and vault toilets.

Weather
Historic weather averages show highs in the 30’s and lows in the single digits during late-January, however, record temps show highs in the mid-60’s and lows in the negative 40 degree range. Snow is common.

Travel Plan
We will meet at PUMC at 16:00 on Friday. Travel will be by private vehicle to the scout campsites immediately adjacent to Wellington Lake on the north side of CR 68. There will be a roll call and vehicle checkout at the church. Cars will be checked in at the parking area and a final roll call will be made at camp. We will be pulling the small troop trailer and the large camp trailer. As always, Scouts and Adult Leaders will travel in Class A Uniforms to and from the event.
The actual drive time is estimated at 2:00 – 2:15, depending on traffic.
Getting There
Below is the preferred route to camp on Friday night.
Rest stops: There are gas stations on both sides of the highway in Conifer and in Bailey.
Driver cautions: The last 11 miles to camp is on a road that is primarily dirt.
Saturday Travel
None
Return Trip
We will pack up and leave camp Sunday morning at approximately 10:00 am. We should arrive back at the church around 12:00 pm. There will be a roll call and car checkout at the parking area. Scouts will need to be checked out at the church before leaving.
Emergency Plan
In the event of an emergency, the course of action will be dictated by the geographical location it occurs at.
· Driving between Parker and Jefferson within cell phone coverage, call 911 or *CSP (Colo State Patrol) and follow their directions.
· Outside of cell phone coverage during travel to and from the camp, request assistance from passing motorists to contact Highway Patrol or local police/fire/ambulance. If not available, return to the first area of cell phone coverage to contact 911: Verizon reports coverage along most of Hwy 285, including the campground, though I doubt the accuracy of this; AT&T reports limited coverage along Hwy 285 to Bailey and no coverage at Wellington Lake Campground; Sprint reports coverage along Hwy 285 and at the campground; and T-Mobile reports roaming coverage along Hwy 285 and limited coverage at the campground.

· Friday Night: Use cell service.
· Saturday: Use cell service.
· Sunday: Use cell service.
· There is a limited risk of forest fire for Wellington Lake because of the time of year.
Local Emergency Contact
In the event of an emergency, Karla Abell will be notified and will contact necessary parties.
Evacuation
Radios will be issued to key adult leaders, acting SPL, and group scout leaders.
In the event an evacuation becomes necessary, there is one preferred exit route:
· Return to car and travel back to Bailey and contact emergency personnel.
· As an alternate, troop can drive south on CR 68 into Deckers.
PUMC will be the rendezvous point for all evacuations, unless an alternate site is designated by the Camp Host on Evacuation Orders. Roll call will be taken to ensure the safe return of all boys.
