Back on the Mainland

The Adirondacks Adventurers have successfully completed the sea kayaking leg of the program. On the final day, they paddled 7 miles all the way back to Cumberland Bay State Park. The guides were fully impressed with the endurance these youngsters displayed. The winds were cooperating this day, and they also benefited from some ingenuity, creating a sail that helped sail them on their way down Lake Champlain. After a few days out on the islands, it was good to get back to the mainland.

Yesterday, the expedition headed to the super-cool Ausable Chasm. While definitely a bit more touristy than we prefer, they group was psyched for a day of tubing and also went on a great little cavernous hike. The kids are apparently craving more rapids and whitewater, which they will soon get on the upcoming white water rafting trip on the Hudson River. The kids will be calling home today so be sure to have your phones handy. We are hoping to get some photos today as well, so please stay tuned!!!
