…an amazing lake trip to Dick Tracy Rock.
Nathan B.
On August 1st and 2nd, members of Troop 48 assembled at CHPC for a trip to Dick Tracy Rock located in the beautiful Cherokee Lake. Due to Covid-19, the trip was by invitation only and was limited to a smaller number of scouts.
After a medical screening at CHPC, minimal drivers transported the scouts and their equipment to the Camp Davy Crockett Lakefront. Attentively, nine canoes and three motor boats were loaded and the journey across the lake was launched. The flotilla stopped for lunch at a midway point, swam in the water, and then renewed their voyage. Reaching the rock early afternoon, they setup 3 designated campsites, one for each patrol on the island. Campers set up their tents and hammocks and supplies.
Without further delay, everyone initiated the various activities, including an approximate 10 ft. rapid, gravity assisted, decent from the rock into the lake, relaxing lake rides on the Ross pontoon, thrilling tubing, wakeboarding, and skiing on the Lawrence boat, and rousing wakeboarding/surfing on the McNabb boat.
The enjoyment continued…
The enjoyment continued, except for short breaks for eating, sleeping, and campfire, throughout the first day. The stimulation resumed on the second day following breakfast and a church service. After lunch, the tiring troop removed all traces of humanity from the island, broke down the camps, and loaded canoes and boats. Once back on the mainland, canoes were cleaned and cars loaded for the return trek. Once again, Troop 48 concluded an amazing lake trip to Dick Tracy Rock.
