Super Trip - Canoe to Canada  (Jul 21 - Aug 1, 2010)

 

 

7/31 - What a way to cap the 2010 Super Trip, with a visit to the 100th BSA Anniversary Jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill, VA. See you at 7:00 am Sunday morning at MUMC to welcome them home!

 

7/30 - The bus arrived in Niagara Falls State Park where they worked on a service project in the morning, then in the afternoon had fun on the Maid of the Mist, Cave of the Winds and a trolley. Then it was on the bus to Buffalo, NY for dinner.

 

7/29 - Chicago! Today they biked around town, visited the Lincoln Park Zoo, visited the Navy Pier, hung out at "The Bean" and probably had some authentic Chicago-style pizza at Giordanos.

 

7/28 - The guys (and gal) returned from canoeing and got their long-awaited shower today. After dinner and some free time in Ely, they loaded up the bus and headed to Chicago.

(from Frank Williams): "Just like on any of your favorite reality shows, you too can dress like your favorite scouts.  Thanks to Mr. Clewis we have 14 large & 2 medium orange wilderness outfitter/troop 39 canoe to Canada 2010 t-shirts for sale.  $10 each.  A lot cheaper than a " buff"! Email me directly to reserve and have $10 ready on Sunday morning. 2archtek@perigee.net."
 

7/25 - (from Frank Williams): "Have crossed paths with Cammarn/Green's crew. Spent the night with Cash/Cole's crew and have passed them in their campsite 1/2 mile from us.  Have been told that the Clewis/Query crew is about a 1/2 mile from us and will cross in the morning.  All are doing well and appear to be having a grand adventure! Just so you all know - all of Troop 39 is camping as close as boy can get to Canada tonight, looking just across the water at our northern neighbor."

 

7/24 - Arrival in Ely for the first day of canoeing. Weather looks great! The group will be "radio silent" until Wednesday at the earliest when they return to Ely (and finally get a shower!). Check back then for more photos.

 

7/23 - Today the group arrived in Milwaukee, WI where they performed a service project in the morning, toured Brewers stadium in the afternoon and took in a game and dinner before departing for Ely, MN.

 

7/22 - The crew is in Cedar Point today after their first night on the bus.

 

7/21 - They are on their way! The troop left about 9:30 pm amidst thunder and lightning. Click for Itinerary. Check back often for updates and new photos as they are received from the road.
