Left MSU campus to go to Many Water Campground by St. Regis.
Had a great breakfast of breakfast burritos then on to the Hiawatha bike trail.
Spent most of the day on the bike trail with many tunnels and trestles.
Ate lunch on a trestle. Has a huckleberry shake on the way back to the campsite where we made individual pizzas. People were able to fish Saturday evening.
Left Sunday am for home.

Welcome new crew member Mikhail and dad Jordan! The crew meeting highlights:

• Reviewed safety, schedule, food, logistics for the upcoming Hiawatha bike Tier II adventure. 4 youth and 3 adults going.
• Practiced canoe paddle strokes and reviewed canoe basics to prepare for next week canoe rescue meeting.
• Reviewed upcoming schedule, including the pistol shooting. 
• Played "3 Things" survival game, which seemed to be a hit and might be something the crew continues. It is a fast game - you can play a round or 2 in 5 minutes - and tests your creativity and survival thinking.
