Summer is right around the corner and so is the 5^th annual Craigmeur camping / river trip on the Delaware river! With all the fun had on the past years, this trip is sure to be a blast. We will be camping at the Kittatiny facility on route 97 in NY Friday, July 16 through Sunday, July 18, and a short walk across the road to Landers Rafting on Saturday morning July 17 for an awesome day rafting, canoeing, and kayaking or anything else you want to use that floats-your-boat down the river. Oliver and Diane have offered up their services of Diamon Catering again for a Friday night pasta dinner, Saturday BBQ after we get off the water, and Sunday morning breakfast.

The planned trip is from the Mini Sink launch to Pond Eddy (approx 8 miles) with the option of staying on the water for an addition 8 miles to Nights Eddy for those that want to get the extra time on the river. A few members will be bringing trucks to shuttle any personal boats being used on that day and Landers will be shuttling all of our members and friends back up to the starting point. From there we’ll all enjoy another great BBQ and the bon fire to follow (bigger is better!)

We got all the rain out of the way on last years trip so we are hoping “Craigstock” stays dry this year, but it is a rain or shine event and we will have our good times as usual either way! Coming up for just Saturday on the water is an option also. Bring your water guns and we’ll see ya there!

Costs are expected to be similar to past years at: $30.00 for camping, $30.00 for rafting, and $25.00 for all three meals. Details, actual prices, and registration forms to follow. Comments / questions can go to Lee Desantis.

This past February the Craigmeur Women’s race team took first place in the NJSC State race @ Pico, VT. When we had the NJSC award banquet on April 29, I was expecting to receive the usual plaque but too much of my surprise they won the annual sliver cup award. The annual sliver cup award has be given to the 1^st place women’s team for the past 50 plus years and this was the first time Craigmeur has ever won the award.

So on May 5^th club spring banquet, I presented the women’s race team of Anneliese  Yombor, Dawn Mazzanti, Kim Hollister and Eleanor Young with “the Cup” and display to the membership the unveiling of the ‘Craigmeur Ski Club” name on “the Cup”. The cup will make its rounds to each individual racers home then it will be on displayed in the lodge until next April. So the next time you are at the lodge feel free to pour a beer into “the Cup” and have a victory drink for the women.
