I attended Camp W from 1965-1967. I hiked the Silver Knapsack and Powderhorn trails. On the Silver Knapsack hike, I wondered off of the trail with another scout. The troop divided in 3 groups when two scouters aquired diarea. I was trying to catch up to the lead group when the trail I was on disappeared as the sun went down. We retired on a hill near a stream. The next day we wandered until evening when we were discovered by an Tule Indian Family that gave us a ride to a building that had a telephone. Their Chief call the Sheriff and we were driven back to Camp Whitsett. To Receive my Silver Knapsack metal I had to finsh the hike from where I got off of the trail.
