Imagine canoeing down Bear Creek through spectacular scenery, past cliffs and bluffs on a bright spring day. Imagine an overnight stay with a bearskin rug by the fireplace and talking to wonderful people. Imagine exploring caves, hiking on trails and climbing a rope course. Imagine if all these de- lights were available to UNA stu- dents. Well, they are! Each spring and fall. Dr. Clark Mueller and Dr. George Makowski venture forth on an exploration and canoe outing. In the spring, these two guides to nature lead students through Bear Creek and the surround- ing area. This trip usually takes place in April. On the first day out, the ad- venturers canoe about nine miles down Bear Creek, passing through white water, cliffs, bluffs and other beautiful scenery. Af- terward, they stay at the Bear Creek Environmental Education Center for a relaxing night of conversation by the fireplace. On the second day. they ex- plore caves, take to hiking trails, and lesi themselves on a rope course. The trip. Including three meals, lodging, transportation and equipment, costs only $ 1 5. The fall trip consists of a one- day adventure down the Buffalo River in Tennessee. One meal, transportation and equipment is included for a modest fee of $5. Although Dr. Makowski en- joys the company of students on these trips, he is excited about bringing a new friend along on the next one. I can finally take Chester canoeing. he said of his faithful canine companion. Dr. Mueller and Dr. Makowski should be applauded for their enthusiasm. Their good- will efforts in coordinating these trips enhance the quality of cam- pus life. All UNA students and faculty are eligible to participate. And. Dr. Makowski hopes Chester will become a regidar participant. HAPPY CANOER. A student is all smiles on the trip. Photo courtesj oi Dr. Mueller UMM GOOD.
