Canoe Trip 2008

Ideas for hauling things Up TO the river and down the river. I will be
bringing my 13 foot trailer to haul things up to the canoe livery. This
will make it easier for us to carpool and save gas money. The trailer w=
ill
be at the rendezvous point on Friday morning, just keep track of where =
you
put your stuff. Dave Phennigwerth, Matt Barber and I were contemplating=
how
we are going to haul all the drinks and supplies down the river since we
have always ran out on the second day in the past. We are thinking about
renting an extra canoe for this purpose. We also thought about a raft o=
f some
sort, or having a vehicle park half way down the river where we can pull
over and go get more supplies. Another option is that we all bring a
floatation device like an inner tube to store extra supplies. I am goin=
g to
leave this one up to each person because I don’t know what would =
be
best. Also Dave and Karen came up with a great idea and that is put lat=
ches
on your coolers just in case of a tip over.

our stuff dry last year. Although sleeping on the ground was a
little rough. Bear and Wolf Country We will be deeper into Jefferson national forest this year which
means we will be in bear country. I will be carrying bear repellant. B=
ear
attacks are very rare and they try to avoid humans 99.9% of the time. =
So,
the threat is minimal. But just in case, I will be armed and dangerous
with bear repellant. There is also an increase in the w=
olf
population according to the Pennsylvania game commission. So anyone who
wanders back in the woods to take care of nature’s call may want=
to
borrow my bear repellant. Of course if you are a guy I will call you a
pussy, but I’ll let you borrow it anyway. First Aid and 2009 DVD Ideas We will be bringing a first aid kit with medical supplies so in =
case
of an emergency contact me, Rooster. I will also have soap shampoo and
peanuts. If anybody has any ideas about any skits or bits for next
year’s canoe DVD or you want to make one. Let me know. We will be
taking pictures and videos for our 5th annual canoe trip, a=
nd I
would like to make it as entertaining as we can. Let me know by sending me an =
email
on the pennsylvaniarednecks.com website. My sincerest apologies to Mr.
Dave Hughes who thinks he has a better gay voice impersonation than me=
. We will be meeting at Looney Tunes in Butler on July 12 at 8PM w=
here
I will collect the rest of the money and distribute T-Shirts. For thos=
e of
you who did not order T-shirts I will have a few extras. If you are not
able to attend this event please call me or send me an e-mail to let m=
e know.
I would like to see those come who already paid because I will be buyi=
ng
everybody at least one beer that is going on the canoe trip to toast t=
his
year’s canoe trip. It would be nice to see some of the old timers get back into the
swing of things that helped start this canoe trip like Andy McKivigan,
Skivy, Josh McCommon, Joe
Smoe, Jeff Fair, Jerry and Jaime Kennedy and others. But I understand =
if
they’re getting scared in their old age and get comfortable wear=
ing
a skirt. But let’s do all we can to encourage these guys to come
this year and let them know they are missed.

As a
reminder for those who wish to bring their own canoes, the cost will b=
e half
of the regular price to haul your canoe up the river. You will need to
supply your own lifejackets and oars as they will not be provided for
people bringing their own canoes to the trip.
