School is in session...
No texting while paddling - this could have been you!!
From a posting on the MSU notice board: https://www.facebook.com/events/425391817541934/
Campus to Coast is a 160 mile / 57hour River Adventure Race. This means simply you start at MSU's Rock on the Red Cedar go down to the Grand River and take it all the way to Grand Haven State Park on Lake Michigan. The dates of the race are April 5-7th, so expect it to be a little cold (last year we set off in the middle of a thunderstorm), this race is rain (or snow) or shine. This race is not for the weak of heart, expect to be tested by the elements and your wits; not to mention your patience with your teammate.
We will have checkpoints throughout the race to provide split times and check on racers. We are also working on having 2 areas where teams will be allowed to pitch tents and sleep or rest a few hours. Our top finishers are estimated at 36-40 hours!
So a handful of "edjumacated" Kruger fraternity and sorority brothers and sisters are going back to school - to take on the Campus to Coast; I hope they studied and did their homework; the Dean of students "Mother Nature" has been hard on those that have not prepared.
The class of 2013 appears to have 47 registered with more to follow I am sure.

Team Kruger goes FaceBook
Team Page: http://www.facebook.com/groups/151272245036845/
It just makes sense with smart phones and new technology that we start a team page; open to all viewers to post their Kruger inspired adventures.
What does it take to join "Team Kruger" you ask? Find any current team member out on the pond and they'll show you the secret handshake and you're in. It involves lots of twenties in your palm during the handshake :-)

"Say What?" - EC Over?
What an event! The reporting on the FB page, minute by minute posts by numerous peeps in the know was fantastic! It appears a bunch of renegade adventures started the FB page throwing caution to the wind and started posting like mad men and women; brilliant as the tracking map and the results page along with forum pages on the WT site don't always tell the story.
The combination of all the sites made it a great event to watch; hats off the Chief, Paula and all the volunteers that made the event a true success for the viewer. It seemed a bit redundant my reposting info when you could get it first hand.
What's happening next you ask? Hang on to your Tilley: https://sites.google.com/site/vkmchallenge/home

EC day 3
What a great day for watching the challenge; records fall as the weather Gods produce near perfect conditions for the sailors; now the paddle sailors and paddlers grind it out for the next 4 days.
Almost up to the minute reporting seen at http://www.facebook.com/groups/392311524201598/397075840391833/?notif_t=group_activity
If there was ever a reason to join FaceBook, this is it.

EC day 2
Day two is getting underway; appears it was quite the downhill sleigh ride to CP 1; those in the know stayed inside on the ICW; the no guts no glory two shots of courage from a rum bottle stayed on the outside.
Plenty more adventure to be had if you scan the Event Tracker WT forum and the Facebook page that was started; it's almost like you are there, sort of.
Team Kruger divided between class 1 and class 3 are doing well; all have cleared CP 1, which is great news; adventure on!!

Rush hour at Fort Desoto Beach
photo Paula M,
Grid lock at Fort Desoto as everyone is looking for the best line off the beach; there is a tricky sand bar 30 feet off shore that some will need to navigate up over and around depending on the draft of their vessel.
This is it, moments away from Chief's military Marine style of launching the 2013 event! Settle in and watch it unfold!
