White Water Rafting 2019

Day 1 traveling to Abiquiu for white water rafting...
By Philip Pratt


Boys are doing great, very proud

Day started early with a rise and shine and breakfast of champions...donuts and coffee with milk and juice for the boys. After cleaning up the museum of our 451 mess we were on the road.

A quick stop miles down the road at Cadillac ranch.  Doug Mahdak generously brought 7 cans of spray paint for the boys to add their own mark.  If paint shows up on clothes, I blame him.  ðŸ˜‚

On the road again from Amarillo to New Mexico led us out of town but not before the smell...if you’ve been through here, you know it. Special thanks to Lance Brooks for rolling down the windows.  (I still smell it I think).

A rest room break turned into a roadside lunch. Turkey, ham and chicken sandwiches were quickly inhaled, young and old alike.  Lettuce, tomato, pickles, chips and cookies.  All off the tailgate of Steve Kral and David Woehler.

Arrival at camp 2 hours later to a beautiful site looking over the Abiquiu reservoir.  Tents and hammocks set up right before quick the thunderstorm.  Lasting all of a few minutes, the cool rain was a welcome relief.

While everyone got settled, Mr Kral and metaled went on a trek to see where we could hike.  And off we went.  Small hill but a decent hour hike.  

Back at camp everyone starts getting ready for dinner.  Hamburgers, hotdogs, grilled chicken, bean dip, veggies, fruit and brownie dessert and cobbler are being prepared.

All in all, long day but very action packed.  Thanks for all the youth for representing Troop 451 the way they should.  And most of the adults...lol.

Dinner almost ready, I sign off
