Canoe Trip Update

We had a great trip on Friday and Saturday. Here's a recap:

Friday: Left a little after 9:00. Had about a 4 hour drive with a stop for snacks another stop for food at a mall food court. We got checked in with Headwaters Outfitters, had our orientation, and got the water around 3:30. Paddled 8 miles which took about 3 hours. It was absolutely pouring rain for 30 minutes. We got to the campsite and made camp, cooked some dinner, sang some songs, looked at God's Word, and played some games while make S'mores and Banana Boats.

Saturday: Quick breakfast and we were on the river by 9:30. We had a bit more of a relaxing day. A whole lot more tipping of each others canoes. Stopped for lunch on the river about noon. Continued on till our pick up point at 3:00. It was a total of 12 miles the second day. (Grand total of 20 miles paddled. Good work.) Quick run back to the campsite to pack up and the 4 hour drive home with a stop for dinner.

Everyone made it back safe and sound a little damp and very tired. Pictures coming soon.
