ARCADIA ROTARY TO RAISE FUNDS TO RENOVATE FORT ROTARY – CAMP TRASK Tallman H. Trask Scout Reservation in dire need of repairs after years of neglect
Story & Photos Terry MILLER tmiller@beaconmedianews.com
O
n Tuesday, Arcadia Weekly got a firsthand look at the damage time and Mother Nature has done to one of the true treasures of this area, Camp Trask which is high above Monrovia Canyon. Two Arcadia Rotarians, John D. Murphy and George Fasching gave this newspaper a tour of the reservation which really is any kid’s dream: a real Fort nestled in the woods where the scouting possibilities are endless for boys and girls of all ages. Camp Trask is an extraordinary experience, tucked into Monrovia Canyon close the cities it serves. A brief drive up a meandering road camp and you are suddenly into a calming wilderness setting. The silence in camp is broken only by the sound of the yearround stream which flows through camp. Fort Rotary was built and completed in 2003 with a dedication held October 19 that year.
