On Saturday morning, June 23, Morganton TAASC members completed their 170 mile canoe expedition across South Carolina. The trip was a huge success with all members arriving strong, healthy and tanned.

We headed to the rental house at Folly Beach, where everyone will recuperate from the canoe trip and a year of school. The beach house is really nice and everyone has gone into slug mode, with some bursts of energetic activity. Some folks did some nice surf kayaking today. Loralie and David Clark came down today and are staying nearby. Nina Fischesser and Isaac Hoff arrive tomorrow and Mark Vitrone returns on Tuesday. TAASC graduate, Sarah Cioffoletti, surprised her brother and arrived from Chapel Hill last night. I have a meeting with the USS Yorktown people sometime this week to sell them ziplines from ship to shore and hopefully a Beanstalk Forest adventure park. I will probably take the kids to the Yorktown and some to walk around Charleston.
