Tuesday 7/11/17 AM/PM Kayak Trip

Camp changed things up this year.  Instead of Canoe trip like years past on Wednesday of camp the kids did a 5 mile tube float today.  Had a great time.  I Kayaked to help supervise.  Arms are toast.


Side note.  Crazy to think how much the times have changed.  Outside of the flood changing the river they changed from the float because of the lack of experience of the campers floating.  In 27 years of having the camp there have been canoe crashes.  No big deal.  Apparently last year one of the coaches said that 2nd session 2 times during the float he said he was truly afraid some kids were going to die.  I have noticed as well in the last decade the number of kids that have zero ability to work a canoe.  Interesting change.

Tuesday 7/11/17 AM ride

Right out of camp. Very long ride.  Went to and up Devils Backbone.  What a hill coming back out.  Rode new bike (thank goodness)

Monday 7/10/17 2nd Day of Camp AM Ride

AM - Long hard ride, Left out of camp.  Right at top of hill and first left.  Got to river bottoms.  Could not go further.  Flood damage had trees down everywhere.  Road was blocked with trees.  Highway department did not even have to put up barriers it was so bad.  Hill was rough as usual.  Crazy hill out of bottoms.  Rode new bike and survived much better this year.  Must be geared better.
Last years post about the hill out of camp cracked me up.
"No matter how many years I do this hill, the first time up it I feel like death!"

AGREED!
