Rich's Summary 2009

THANKS FOR ANOTHER GREAT CANOE TRIP !!!

A short Summary:
It never rained while we were on the water.
It never rained while we were setting up camp.
It never rained while we were breaking camp.
No one got hurt (bug bites don't count).
We had ice cream several times.
One night in a 'Deluxe' Commercial Campground.
Three nights in a 'Good' Commercial campground.
Only three nights in wilderness 'borderline' camping places.
Always good food.
Many good campfires.
Several 'wildlife' sightings.
No serious bug problems.
No 'bear bag' problems
Commercial meals several times, (4 or 5).
Lots of fast water to speed us along.
But - A little short on good swimming or bathing spots.
One serious 'hang-up' that we took several shots at fixing and couldn't. - cost us a canoe, 2 packs with gear, some food, etc.
AND - Great companionship (most of the time): 1 Grandfather, 2 Sons, 1 Grandson and his Friend, 1 Daughter-in-Law & Father-in-Law, 2 Aunts, 2 Great Aunts, 2 Uncles, 2 Great Uncles, 4 siblings (3 brothers and 1 sister) and their 1st cousin, a 1st Cousin once removed also 1st cousin Twice Removed. That was 10 people: 8 adults (3 women & 5 Men) & 2 mid teen boys. They covered a 58 year spread. Can you calculate how old the oldest was?
WHO IS PLANNING ON NEXT YEAR?
I AM, Rich Curran
