CANOE/CAMPING TRIP - SEPT 2007


“What doing?”
The canoe trip for 2007 has come and gone!
Thursday, after an enjoyable drive out to Bon Echo in Myrtle, Edna (aka Dave’s Chariot), Walt, Lightning McQueen, and Mater, we set up camp at our great group sites, then took a short canoe trip across the lake in order to do the Cliff Top Trail of a mere 1.5km. What awesome views!
Friday we hiked the Abes & Essens Hiking Trail which was 17km long and took almost 8 hours. Lunch was eaten along the way, and some dared to swim in Abes Lake. Bottles of water were greatly appreciated at the end of the trail!
Saturday, with 15 canoes, we tackled the 21km canoe route (including a few smaller portages and a challenging 1.5km portage!), stopped for lunch along the way, and made it back to camp in one piece… but tired.
Sunday, after breakfast, we had worship time together, then packed up and headed home.
Cooking, cleanup, various chores, activities and devotions were all done by teams.
You guys were awesome!
