50 Mile Canoe Trip 2013

Purpose

We did a 6 day, 50-mile High Adventure trip with the older scouts in the troop. In addition to white water canoeing, we focused on Dutch Oven cooking for the entire trip.

Highlights

• We canoed for 2 days on open water on Spednic Lake.
• We camped the first night on an island in the lake.
• We made some amazing meals in the Dutch Ovens: Breakfast Burritos,Chicken Pot Pie, Jambalaya, Peach Cobbler and some fantastic Pizza.
• Several scouts did some fishing and were catching small mouth bass.
• We portaged around the dam at Vanceboro with no issues.
• We experienced most types of weather including some beautiful sunny days and some rainy days with intermittent thunderstorms.
• We experienced white water canoeing with Class I and II rapids with several of them proving pretty challenging.
• The campsites along the river were GREAT and very comfortable.
