Lazy kayaking
Submitted by Lostsheep on Tue, 07/22/2008 - 7:26amAfter doing some yardwork on Friday, I decided that I wanted to enjoy the weather and go kayaking down the local river. She had never been kayaking, or even in a kayak, so she was a little apprehensive. The only way I could convice her, was guarantee her a sit-on-top kayak...
The last time I had been down that river was at least 10 years ago, probably even longer, and then I went in a canoe.
So we called a local rental company, put some deposits down and were told when to show up for Sunday.
Scout Dayhike 7.11-7.12 2008
Submitted by Lostsheep on Tue, 07/15/2008 - 11:40amSo, last month our troop attempted 10mi, but fell short by 3mi due to some nasty rain and a few scouts that just weren't ready. That's fine - they made it up this month, and some!

Scouts almost make 10mi
Submitted by Lostsheep on Tue, 07/01/2008 - 3:34pmSaturday was the scout troop's planned 10mi hike toward their backpacking merit badge. It was the Cherokee Ridge Alpine Trial, which is a simple dayhike along the shores of Lake Martin in Alexander City, AL. Nothing too crazy, nothing too outstanding, but still 10mi in the Alabama heat/humidy was the goal.
