Backcountry Xcursion Routes are provided by the Ministry of Wild on the Path and its Adventure Project and provides Men's and Family Events. It is an opportunity for fellow adventures to enjoy a community of folks who desire to thrive as leaders personally, in their tribe, and those around them.
MEN'S ADVENTURE CHALLENGE. This Event will be held May 15th-19th 2024. We call it a 'run what ya brung' event and we mean it! The event is for men who love discovery, exploration, new experiences, community, and the pursuit of God's heart. So, it is open to all levels of wildness! You can camp in tents, rv's, in a hammock, or off the back of a motorcycle. You might be the guy who sleeps in his car, or right on the ground. It's all good! We will have a camp host for the event who will provide some of the extra amenities like cook supplies, canopies and a canvass meeting area for inclimate weather! Every evening after a day of Xploration we'll do dinner around the fire and challenge ourselves to be better leaders in our lives, homes, and communities. Below you will find all the information you need to be a part of this Wild on the Path experience. This Camp is limited to the first 30 registered men so plan ahead to attend!

Info: About our first day. Our destination is located between Petrolia, CA and Honey Dew. This is the most remote area of The Northern California Coastal Range otherwise known as the Lost Coast. Even though the area has been mostly forgotten, there are a remnant of local farmers, ranchers, and handful of relatively hidden, but mostly happy, Master Gardeners and Budtenders. 
Highlights: The Lost Coast : Remote, long, poor pavement for the duration, endless curves and stunning ocean views, Not for everyone but a must-do road for any man with a desire to go where others don't! 
Imagine with me this out of the way less traveled back country road in the most pristine of settings. It's called the Lost Coast because it's the last piece of California Coastline that remains virgin & undeveloped. It was named the "Lost Coast" after the area experienced depopulation in the 1930s. In addition, the steepness and related geotechnical challenges of the coastal mountains made this stretch of coastline too costly for state highway or county road builders to establish routes through the area, leaving it the most undeveloped and remote portion of the California Coast. Most of the region's coastline is now part of either Sinkyone Wilderness State Park or King Range National Conservation Area.
Need to Know:  Always remember you Camera • The Lost Coast has its own fantastical micro-climate! It can be cold and foggy in Ferndale but as you climb over the ridge to the southwest, everything become sunny and great for adventure! • Every evening after a day of Xploration we'll do dinner around the fire and fireside challenge for our group , focused on becoming better leaders in our personal lives, homes, and communities.
