Maine Coast Is A Biking

07/30/2009

Maine Coast called up today for a quick check-in. After 2 days of biking, popovers at Jordan House restaurant this afternoon was a big hit! Last night some epic games of spoon (a card game) and good camp food put everyone in high spirits for biking today. At the campground, the group has met a New Hampshire YMCA with kids the same age and doing similar activities as our group. After meeting last night our group is looking forward to sharing s’mores with their new friends. Tomorrow everyone is looking forward to visiting Thunder Hole, mini golfing and eating some ice-cream.

A Few Shout Outs:

Sam: amazing at biking and always in the lead, encouraging others to follow him up and down the trails

Erik S: settling in well, keeping the group entertained with funny comments

Eric V, Zak, Tom & Robert: cooking up a storm for both breakfast and dinner, loving the trip and new friends!

Amelia: adding a bit of extra adventure as she sleeps under the stars (she says the shooting stars in Maine are great!)

Emily & Wanda: great at teaching the group new card games and being helpful around camp with the daily chores

Zach loves all forms of Wilderness exploration, though some would say his heart lies most with canoeing.
