Pennsylvania group celebrates 50 years of annual canoe trips
Published: , in Outdoor News
In early August 1974, close friends Paul Misko and Mike McGraw treated their soon-to-be wives to a week-long canoe and camping trip on the Juniata River.
The men were close friends who’d grown up together in Altoona, Pa., joined the U.S. Marine Corps and served in Vietnam. Although one sojourn was enough for the women, Misko and McGraw returned the following summer with a few friends for what would evolve into an annual tradition. This year marked the Eureka Canoe Club’s 50th anniversary and included 26 paddlers from as far away as Alaska, New England and Florida.
