This will make the 14th time the now historic run has been made. A lively group participated par-ticipated and after the boys were interviewed at the end of the voyage voy-age the sentiment seemed to echo unanimously "The Best Ever." It all started thisi year on Fri- It all started this year on Fri-of Fri-of the troops met just a few miles down the river from Yuba Dam. Some of the boatmen went up the river to view the sights near the dam, while the others made ready the huge campsite just below the Highway 91 bridge in a grassy meadow. The Hinckley troop was the first to initiate the traditional baptismal as a good natured Explorer Ex-plorer pulled himself out of the river, much the wiser about the old adage "In numbers there is safety." Soon after dark it was an interesting sight as one of the leaders remarked to see the camp-fires camp-fires of the various troops dotting the meadow, making it look like a small city of pioneers in the bygone by-gone days. One thing about Explorers, Ex-plorers, they really know how to eat, and if there is something they don't have on their cook-fire that a neighboring camp does, it isn't long until everything is evened up by trade or by confiscation. As soon as the supper meal is over, (with the exception of Oak City, they eat at midnight!) the boys start their annual camp visit to plan strategy for the water battles the next day. First they scout out the rivals to see what type of water propelling equipment they have at hand, noting that each group very carefully guards its own secret. These devices range from large plastic hand scooper models to well engineered hydraulic pumpers. But the big upset of the whole trip was the Delto Second Ward's gas motor driven pump that could actually fil a boat with water in minutes, and it was well guardedl at night as they camped at some distance, and exploded with surprise during the morning battles, tl is a strange sight to see these caravans of kids wandering from camp to camp testing their physical and lung (voice) strength in friendly wrestling, wrest-ling, water spraying, and cheering (yelling) sessions. Finally the dawn of Saturday approaches and the boys hurriedly hurried-ly get through their breakfast, jump into their assigned boats, or homemade craft, warm up their motors and their paddles and away they go. There was one exception however as the sleek Nephi craft had serious engine trouble and finally had to shuttle their hopes in the Meadow Harbor, and hope for a better time of it next year. The first water manuever was by the Second Ward as they cruised by the harbor and fired upon Lynndyl-Leamington troops, while they were docked, then several sev-eral armada groups joined in making mak-ing the battle with the Second Ward on a more even basis, including in-cluding Oak City. However during the struggle one of the Oak City crafts, piloted by Kent Dewsnup became over balanced with water fighters and excess water and the whole crew involuntarily abandoned aban-doned ship with Skipper Kent going down with the ship, hat and all reaching valiantly above the water to shut off his motor as he submerged sub-merged like a submarine. In just a few short minutes the boat was brought to the surface, the motor dried off, all hands back on deck, and the fight was on. Sutherland soon joined in with Oak City and the Second Ward met their match. Meanwhile Hinckley and Deseret slid out unnoticed and further down the river Hinckley proceeded to give the Second Ward a first class mud bath. After the skirmishes and water battles th boys docked at the Mill Junction area to eat their lunch, dry off, and swap tales of the heroic exper'ences of the morning, and ooh, and ahh, over the Second Ward's gas powered pump. Lynndyl-Leamington has promised they will bring out a unit next year that will be powered by a 5 HP engine and shoot water 50 feet. The real River Run starts now and with the skill and luck of the River Pilots the boats all skim their way down over the various rapids, skidding through the railroad trestles, ducking under boundary fence lines, and boating over the serene quiet curves, taking in the beauty of the "Little Grand Canyon", Can-yon", the "Swallow Cliffs," the "Chip Rock Crop-out" and numerous numer-ous meadows and bygone farm valleys and wild life. It is really quite a sight seeing the one-man Kayacks, the two-man canoes, the big rubber rafts, and the swift aluminum outboards all going down the river, there was also a rugged wooden craft that would have led the pack had it not had motor trouble, and you have really got to admire those Explorers who paddle their craft all the way down. It's good to have the dedicated leaders who make it all possible for the boys. To Alfred Lake who spends days getting ready for the run, including having the water raised on the river, and the Explorer Ex-plorer and Ward Leaders, Dick Nielson of Lynndyl-Leamington, Fred Nielson, Kent Dewsnup and Alden Nielson of Oak City, Waldo Warnick and Glen Taylor of Hinckley, Hinck-ley, Bryan Jones, John Henrie and Larry Oliver of Sutherland, Vincent Cropper and Orin Allred of Deseret, Fred Anderson and Cecil Losee of Delta Second Ward.
