Might as well begin with our next outing

I have not been successful in reconfirming our first choice of camping spots for the August outing, so we will be changing to a backup location.  Reservations have been made for Gibson Ranch on the same weekend.  We will be camping for only Saturday evening this outing and we will also be hiking into Gibson Ranch.  In the past we have done this from the VFW hall, but we are going to lengthen the hike a little bit this time.  We will start from Dry Creek Ranch (basically).  There is a new bike trail parking lot just to the south side of the Ranch (toward Elkhorn Blvd.).  We will gather there on Saturday morning, hike to Gibson, set up camp, do our thing and hike back Sunday.

Because of this, we won't need a bunch of vehicles to drive us to and from Gibson Ranch.  We will however need one or two vehicles to transport the large troop gear that we can't carry ourselves.  Items like the patrol boxes and storage coolers.  We will need this help on both Saturday to get the gear to Gibson and then again on Sunday to get it back to Mr. David's house.  I also will need one vehicle to remain at Gibson while we are on site in case we need to transport anyone for medical assistance.  If this is one of the gear vehicles, that would probably be easiest.
