Paoli Troop 1’s route took them on what is today the Adirondack Ninety-mile Canoe Classic from Old Forge to Saranac Lake. This is also the first section of today’s Northern Forest Canoe Trail, considered the waterway equivalent of the Appalachian Trail, which extends via rivers, streams, lakes, and carries to Fort Kent, Maine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThree of the scouts, Herb “Hobey” Henderson, George Aman, and Bill McClear compiled the photo journal and dedicated it to future scouts who might read it. Hobey kept the log and the memories of the fifteen scouts’ experiences in a bureau drawer for decades, finally presenting it in 2011 to Paoli Troop 1 on its 100th anniversary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt seems somewhat of a miracle that Author William J. O’Hern discovered the journal, with the help of Dick and Hobey Henderson, and realized that its publication would be especially meaningful to those who enjoy canoeing and hiking in the same area today. Readers can only imagine how much the boys in the journal – now elderly men – enjoy reliving the adventure that was carefully preserved in words and photographs by their fellow scouts and now will be further preserved for later generations in this small publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e163 pages, Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eISBN: 978-1-4930-7891-2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"INGRAMS BOOK COMPANY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41542509461592,"sku":"210977","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/2736\/0311\/files\/9781493078899-us.jpg?v=1713817624","url":"https:\/\/theadkxstore.com\/products\/a-classic-adk-paddle","provider":"The ADKX Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
