Trip Report - Elroy-Sparta
By: Liz

Hey! What a weekend! Would you believe we biked 32 miles?!? That's the length of the Elroy-Sparta Bike Trail. We had so much fun. The weather was absolutely perfect for biking. Thanks to Jon for coming along and helping with the biking parts of the outing. Thanks also to Mr. Benkstein for riding along.

My favorite part of the ride was the tunnels. Even Tunnel #3 where it rained on us -- inside the tunnel.

All the scouts were absolute champions! It didn't matter if you went 10 miles, 20 miles or 40 miles. You all did fantastic.
 
 

Lost but not Found?
  We have a large number of items in the Lost and Found. PLEASE look through the box to see if any of it is yours. Unclaimed items by the start of Summer Camp will be donated to local charities or thrown out.
