Noah- sorry to hear you didn't see the weed train at work. But atlast you got a picture of it. Phil- It was a great trip. The whitewater trip we took a bus about 2 hours from our camp to the river. we took a leased bus from a school district which little to our knwoledge had a broken transmassion. Well after the river we had to climb out of the gorge via switchbacks. The first one the bus couldn't make it up and while spouting black smoke starting to roll backwards right towards the ravine below. I was sitting in the back of the bus watching out the back window as the ground slowely dissappeared from beneath the bus. No joking what t I saw behind us was a 100 foot drop down a rocky slope. We yelled at the bus driver who stopped us a foot from certain peril. We made it out and aftr a 3 hour wait for a new bus at a gas station we were back at tcamp about 11;30. So I actually did cheat death. the scouts loved the whole trip. We had problems with one who was a "videogamer" who didn't want to take his mandatory swim test. Which means an adult leader have had to stay back at camp and miss whitewater rafting, needless to say we weren't happy. With a little help from the great staff he took the test and everyonoe on the trip had a wonderful time. I also got the heads up to teach railroading merit badge. something I had wanted to do. perfect timing too since the scouts plan to visit the johnstown area, including a stop at the horseshoe curve, and the altoona railroad musuem. Overall a perfect trip. Amdrew Miller P.s. this is my 150th post
