couldn't coordinate such an awesome event without all of our loyal supporters. THANK
YOU! |
From Route
645 in Pine Grove to Swope's Valley Road on the north end of the Swatara State Park, we
encountered three strainers where trees completed crossed the Swatara...
|
...often
resulting in portaging of canoes around the obstacles.
|
|
Special thanks to Bill Friese & his staff of Park Rangers
for helping to unload about 4 tons of trash from our canoes.
|
Father / Son Team.
|
 Mike Pavelek presented oodles of information on the Horse
Shoe Trail. He even autographed his books.
|
|
Before the end of the trip we all got to know Jean who also presented DCNR's public
participation process for development of Swatara State Park.
|
Arranging collected debris.
|
Welcome Philadelphia!
|
|
Tom and Jack provided shuttle and shore support to post
banners at exit points and make sure we had plenty of good food to eat.
|
A safety briefing is held each day. Scout Troop 17 from
Schaefferstown listens intently.
|
 Plenty of help to get started. |
|
Low water through Swatara State Park caused canoeists to
"walk their canoes" numerous times. Taken from the Appalachian Trail
bridge.
|
Get ready to portage.
|
It was down right neighborly the way everyone pitched in
when someone needed help.
