I’m working on setting the date for the Troop 160 white water rafting trip next spring, and I have two dates to choose from.  We will be going to Maine and rafting the Kennebec.  Boys who are 14 may get to raft the Dead River if there is enough interest.

I think this will be a really exciting trip and I’d like to make it so that as many as possible of the boys can make the trip, so I’m taking a (non-binding) poll to see if anyone has hard conflicts with either of these dates.

=> If you have a hard conflict with either of the dates, please type CONFLICT next to the date below and reply to me.
=> If you have no conflicts, you do not need to reply.

Date #1:  weekend before Memorial Day, May 22 – 23rd, 2010
Date #2: Memorial Day Weekend, May 29 – 30th, 2010

In either case, I am planning on leaving as early as we can (4pm?) on Friday for the 4.5 hour drive to Maine, rafting on Saturday, and coming back Sunday morning.  That will allow time for homework and other things on Sunday (and Monday of Memorial Day weekend).

Also, just a quick heads up on cost.  This is a more expensive trip; the troop will defer some of the cost, but it will be around $90/person.
I plan to set the date at the end of this week, so if you have feedback, let me know soon.

Thanks!
