Scoutmaster: Dave Karthauser Back row: Joe Miller, guide; Steve Smith, probably crew leader; John Pitstick; Dave Karthauser; Unknown Middle row: Kevin Grant; Robert Rau; Mike Hill; Unknown Front row: Jim Haggart (Dallas, TX); Ron Pricket; David Karthauser, son of Dave; Bill Loflin We traveled from Arlington to Ely on a bus with our sister crew, as well as some boys who were too young for the Sommers trip and who went on an independent trip with another outfitter. Our crew attempted to do the Hunters Island circuit, but had to head south once we got to Shelley Lake, at the northern tip of the circuit, as we were running out of time. When we were camped at Agnes Lake later in the trip, Dave got everyone up at 2 in the morning to look at the full moon. He then told everyone that there was plenty of light, so we might as well break camp and get going down Agnes Lake, as it was going to be a long day. There was lots of grumbling, but we did it nonetheless. Then, early in the morning we were paddling across a glassy Agnes with the fog sitting right on the water and the sun just above. In the early afternoon, we took a break for a couple of hours and then the wind came up, producing 3' waves. Dave reminded everyone that if we had slept in that morning until the normal time, we would have been battling the waves on Agnes that much longer!
