During the llrst period of the 1933 Camp Ma-Ka-ja-Wan season 1 took my first'canoe trip. I found iW to be very exciting. and- lots of, futi. Ortpbeganl at Pearson, Wis., and we expected to. end it, at Lily which. is also a small town about 25 -miles..dowin the Wolf river from Pearson. After a very much appreciated ride, by Mr, McManus and his wife f rom the scout *camp to the Wolf river, we started pad- dling down'the river. At first we f ound the water smooth and caIm, but af ter less than a mile of: rather easy canoeing, we encountered a .swifter current and a, littie more difficult, paddling. Having paddled. about fou r or five miles we came upona dam which prcddaqater of a mile of exceedingly rough and rocky water. It Was quite »eçessary to portage around this. On the.way we stopped and filled Dur precious canteens with cold and good water out of an old spring. We continued at the bottom of these rapids-and- encountered the first reahly rough water in my life. 1 found it lots- 'of f un and had enough excitement for weelcs and weeks. About haîf way we stopped for a swim. The water was very different f rom the water at Spring lake. It looked like iced tea and we could barely swim upstreamn because of the cufrent. We met with one more group of rapids andi passed these successfully as we did aIl the rest. We ate a dinnen of sandwiches and oranges a mile froin Lily and afterwards continued to Lily. Tiiere Pat Cody met us and took us back to camp. A Ma-Ka-Ja-Wan Camper.
