Adventure Tour 887

May 30, 2009

An Adventure Race is a competiton, an "Adventure Tour" is just like an adventure race without the pressure.   This event does not have the competition element.  It is like a bike tour (as opposed to a bike race).  

The Adventure Tour 887 was attended by 6 highly capable teams who achieved excellent time.  The event was top notch all the way around.  The participants biked 8 miles, Yaked or Canoed 8 miles and Hiked the North Country Trail 7 miles.  For a total tour distance of 23 miles.  It was a great and fun event!! 

Outdoor Skills Course

3 courses in 2009 - This course was an 8 hour introduction to Outdoor skills including, map and compass reading, firebuilding, cooking, setting up camp, knot tying, rappelling, ascending, and tyrolean traverse (rope bridge).  It was an excellent class - with great students.  Provided through Lowell Community Education.

Manistee River Trail Hike and Kayak

March 27-29, 2009 - Under threat of 8 new inches of snow, we gathered at the "Institue of Leisure Arts" for a couple of nights of fun and comraderie.  Our hike and kayak was suppose to be two days, but because the participants were all of hearty stock, we finish the 26 total miles in one day.  It was a good day and a great time! 

Nobody brought a camera!!!
