[Troop351] Weekend Camping Plans

[Josh Cooley]

I've gotten confirmation from Grimes that we will be canoeing.  If there is
a mistake in the roster, please let me know.  I've made two changes based
on previous feedback.

Make sure you are bringing personal food for this trip.  Prepare for both
sun and rain.  We will likely encounter rain.  You will need good close
toed shoes so that we can stop and seek shelter if there is
severe weather.  Make sure you review your packing list and pack in water
tight buckets or bags.

The canoe trip is through areas with low cell coverage.  Phones are not
good forms of communication.  Below is an alltrails link that shows our
expected path for Saturday and Sunday.  We will send an update on the
expected return on our drive back Sunday.  Any updates between our
departure and return will be unplanned.
