Trailblazer boys are currently on their 3-day canoeing trip down the Manistee River. They will complete a portage today where they\u2019ll carry all of their gear and canoes on a trail past a dam. They\u2019ll hop back on the river after their portage and canoe for several more miles before setting up camp for one more night on the river. Our Trailblazer Girls 1 group has been hiking while the boys have been canoeing. Tonight they\u2019ll be staying on the North Country Trail at a beautiful backcountry campsite next to a calm, cool creek. Our Trailblazer Girls 2 group departs today for their hike along the North Country Trail and will be staying alongside the majestic White River. Tomorrow they\u2019ll cross the river and hike for five miles on the trail. Here are the Trailblazer girls in action, cooking breakfast this morning and the boys preparing to canoe for the day!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10925 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ayf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tbz-g.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"456\" height=\"608\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ayf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tbz-g.jpeg 456w, https:\/\/ayf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tbz-g-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/ayf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tbz-g-100x133.jpeg 100w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 456px) 100vw, 456px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 456px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 456\/608;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10926 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/ayf.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/tbz-b-640x480.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/480;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Explorers <\/strong>are well on their way to incredible adventures\u2014including the Explorer boys who will complete their 5-day cycling tour of West Michigan tomorrow!
