The Fox Brigade

It has been our pleasure this past week to provide canoes and shuttle service to the Fox Brigade.

Jack along with Alan, Kevin, Bill and Sheldon arrived on Tuesday as the lead party for a three day camping, canoe trip.

After spending the night at our B&B, the brigade headed down river to set up base camp. They spent the next three days canoeing from Grayling to Mio.

Mark and I were delighted to be invited out to their camp Friday night. Their camp cook, Bob, is no ordinary chef. When we arrived, we were treated to Beef tenderloin that melted in your mouth. Not only was the food great, but these are all great guys. Many are involved or have been involved in Boy Scouts of America. Some of these men have been taking an annual canoe trip together for over 30 years. A few were first timers. The conversation and Jack's presentation of this year's award were highly entertaining.

They talked about past trips on other rivers and future plans. We hope that the AuSable River and Borchers Canoe & Kayak will be one of the highlights that they talk about and return to in the years to come.
