Whitewater Rafting

In what had to be one of the more exciting excursions in recent memory, the troop conquered the Youghiogheny River in Western Pa. during a whitewater rafting trip in July.

The Monday trip (is is MUCH less expensive to raft Monday) followed an overnight camp at Scarlett Knob Campground. The area was nice although there was some consternation about the menu for Sunday night's dinner.

Without further ado, here's the trip in pictures...
