carries all required safety

North River, the Rappahan-
mock or such other rivers as
the trip leader may feel were
of intermediate difficulty.

own canoes and campin g

don't own one, there are sew
eral rental agencies in the
area.
| Trip Leaders Busy
Trip leaders have manifold
duties. They arrange the au-
tomobile conveys, shutting
cars between the putting-in
and taking-out points. They
name a lead boat and q sweep
boat, each of which must car
ry first aid kits and safety
lines. No canoeist may get
ahead of the lead boat nor be-
hind the sweep boat. They
also pick the lunch and camp
sites.
Since safety is of first i'm
portance, all trip members are
advised to carry first aid kits,
an extra paddle or two and
on white water excursions, don
a life jacket. They also should
use waterproof bags for equip
ment and on overnight trips
carry sufficient water for two
days.
The advanced members par
ticipate in white water compe-
tition in other parts of the
country and annually sponsor
one event of spectator inter-
est here. This is the Potomac
white water race on the rapids
below Great Falls which brings
daring paddlers from m any
places to compete.
