(Saturday June 4th, 2005) - Canoeing at Craig's Creek The troop gathered at the scout building at 9am for a fun filled weekend at Craig's Creek, Dr. John Schulte's property. The camp site was on the water and four canoes were available from friends along the lake (creek). The following scouts worked very hard on their skills for the canoeing merit badge: Adam Dixon, Jack Cobb, Alex Wardio, Kevin Crush, Matthew Stark, Josh Graff, Austin Graff, Dan Turner, Elliott Epping, Kirk Wallace, Tyler Mairose, Omer Donmez Scout Masters were: Mr. Don Feldmann, Paul Ruh, Dave Dixon, Steve Mairose, Jim Epping, Brad Wallace, Kadir Donmez, Pete Stark Mr. Feldmann our in-house counselor for this skill did a wonderful job as always. The boys also enjoyed fishing and camping out. We had running water available which was great after all the swimming and canoeing in the warn sun. We all hiked to the other end of the property where we hosed off and washed before dinner. Boy, was that water cold, but you really felt great afterwards. After dinner Dr. John invited us down to a campfire which he already had going before we arrived at his place. Marsh mellows were a big hit. Mr. Stark told a story about his adventures on the AT back in 1978 when a black bear decided to visit his camp site. If you weren't there you need to ask one of the scouts who went for some answers for ROUND TWO of our program. Keep reading the web page for more news's. Pete Pictures from Craig's Creek
