Camping and
rafting trip,
April 21, 2007 we will be heading down into the Grand Canyon of
Pennsylvania for a weekend of camping and rafting. Pine Creek
has provided troop 2 with lots of fun in the past and we expect this
year to be a great opportunity to get out and get wet! We will
leave the parking lot at FCC at 9:00AM and return around 3:00PM on
Sunday afternoon. The cost of the trip is $40 including equipment
rental, camp site rental and a commemorative patch. We will camp at
Colton Point State Park on Saturday before rafting on Sunday
morning. There are lots of opportunities to see wildlife (including Bald
Eagles, Osprey and some really cool yellow Palomino Trout). For more
information on the rafting experience see

pictures from our last visit at
2004-5
