Portage
What happens when you are canoeing, and you meet an obstacle like a hydroelectric dam or a waterfall/spillway?
You have to take the canoes out of the water and carry them around.
This is called a Portage.
It's never easy, usually heavy, and always fun. Here are a few pictures of portages from Troop canoe trips.
Canoes double as a bed or table...
Canoeing can be hard, tiring work, as anyone who has joined us on the long distance trips can attest to.
Here are a few photos from our collection that show our scouts sleeping on, in or under their canoes.
Canoes also make a great impromptu table for eating on, as shown in the other photos. If you look closely you may recognize some of our adult leaders in these photos.
