October Canoe Day Trip

For many an introductory experience to the water sports that the troop regularly partakes in, the scouts ran the Mokelumne River in their canoes, accruing 5 miles during their day trip on October 19th. Throughout the outing, a motley of wildlife, including various waterbirds, Canadian geese, ducks, diverse flora, and at one point domesticated cows were able to be seen. Topping out at class two rapids, the river run was a learning experience for all.
