Rafting trip summary

On the weekend of April 15th the Venturing Crew took a group of eight on a full day of strenuous White Water Rafting in Upper New York. Though led by a guide, the crew exhibited the ability to master this exhilarating sport. While four people in total fell into the cold and swirling rapids, the high point certainly occurred before the event took off. En route to the site, coasting over dirt road hills and what was certainly a death trap, one driver, Bosco C, frightened us all as his engine threatened with a lack of gas. Ever the wise one, he used his powers of location, aided by satellites, to find the nearest gas station and ensured that all eight would be able to venture onto the frigid rapids. Crew 728 had a great, albeit rocky, experience.

Cycling trip summary

In joint preparation with Boy Scout Troop 728, Venture Crew 728 planned, prepared and completed a strenuous 15 mile cycling trip that spanned all the way from Tread Bike Shop in northern Manhattan, across the George Washington Bridge along Route 8 in New Jersey and ending in Alpine Scout Camp. A group of well over twenty Scouts and Venturers, which at times looked like quite a menace to the other cyclists if they looked fast enough to see us speeding by them. As we finished our first day ride, we celebrated over a feast of different cobblers and excellent skits, songs, jokes and the like. The next morning as we prepared to venture the 15 mile journey back home as we saw the coming rain storms. Knowing the treachery we would have to deal with in rain, we sped through the increasing fog yelling encouragement to the scouts in front. We finally finished were back at Tread Bike Shop where we returned our rentals, said our goodbyes, and anxiously awaited future Venture activities.
