Last weekend we did the first ever MERO backpacking trip! After loading up our packs and giving a big 'arriba MERO!' group cheer, we hit the trails at Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve in the East Bay. Only two of our students had ever been camping before, so this was a really cool experience and something totally new for all of them!  Laying out the gear at the trailhead.  This backpack's bigger than me!  Lunch consisted of a big stack of sandwiches prepped the night before.  Hanging out around camp...get it??  Posing for a photo after exploring one of Black Diamond Mine's namesake abandoned mines. This one went back almost 200 feet!  The calm before the storm...enjoying a few quiet moments before everyone wakes up!
