2016 Canoe Trip Report
Troop 111 had a successful and fun canoe trip in August. Our original plan was to cover 12 miles of the Potomac River. Thanks to a breezy headwind and a few other factors, we stopped at the Point of Rocks landing after covering 6 miles (although some of us zigzagged enough to paddle closer to 7), which helped make it a great, relaxing trip. The river was beautiful, and the water was perfect for staying cool. Some of the OG’s caught fish, and some of the boys caught a glimpse of a water snake. We stopped on a rock island for lunch, and the Troop cleaned up some trash along the way.
