Its guys night tonight in camp, since all the girls are spending the evening on Attean Lake as part of their mid-session canoe trip. Saco and Kennebec are back from their three-day canoe trip, and are resting up today for another week of full-tilt action. As the oldest boys in camp, they drew the privilege of canoeing the Moose River Bow. Along the way they got to experience some white water canoeing, and got to camp out for two consecutive nights. This evening our girls are getting some of the best weather of the session for their trip – the sun has been shining all day and there has been very little wind. It’s perfect for canoeing. We all look forward to hearing their stories when they return.
For those in camp tonight, there is plenty to look forward to: The guys will be grilling steak, playing greased watermelon football, and tubing behind the boat. It should be a great opportunity to eat well and play hard.
Tomorrow our final hike leaves as Penobscot hits the trail headed for Slidedown Falls. It’s a beautiful spot where the waterfalls carve out perfect places to play in the falling water or slide with the flow of the river. The trip should be good, and having seen the menu of food they are bringing along, I know the meals will be a highlight as well.
