The JROTC Senior class at Bangor High School embarked on an exciting canoe trip down the Penobscot River on Thursday, August 15th. Eight cadets participated in the 10-mile journey, putting in at Passadumkeag and taking out in Greenbush.
The weather cooperated beautifully, and the smallmouth bass were biting. The cadets had a wonderful time experiencing Maine's natural splendor firsthand, thanks to the team at Cold Shore Guide Service (www.coldshoreguideservice.com).
Cold Shore Guide Service provided the canoes, life jackets, paddles, and lunch for the trip. They also gave the group a safety briefing before they set out, ensuring the cadets were well-prepared for their adventure on the river.
The seniors are grateful to Cold Shore Guide Service for facilitating this fantastic outdoor experience and allowing them to immerse themselves in Maine's beautiful natural classroom.
