BWCA Outing - Team 2

Three crews from 101 went to the BWCA (Boundary Waters Canoe Area) in late July/ early August. Here is Team 2:

Here we are heading out on the first day.

The weather was beautiful and the sunsets awesome.

Eleven portages and about 65 miles.

The fishing was not very good but we did catch one good one!

We visited a great waterfall.

The meals were very good. Here we are at supper.

Calm waters make for beautiful lakes.

We didn't see a lot of wildlife but there were some good sights.

Great canoeing!

Some after hours fun with the canoes.

The berries were great.

On our return, safe and glad to be back.

DuPage River Clean Up 2008

I wanted to share some of the photos from today's river clean up

The Scouts had to first carry the canoe about 2 blocks thru a tall grassy field.


After getting to the waters edge its time to get in and get wet the water temperature was around 60-65 degrees today

Then off to clean the northern part of the DuPage River.

Notice how empty the canoe is take a look at this next picture on the amount of garbage the Scouts pull from one part of the river.
