One hiked to Trask Lake and the other to Elbow Lake. “When we reached the lake, we found a marble plaque that read ‘Everybody Loved Bob in their Own Way’ and re- alized that Elbow was actually an acro- nym,” said Schuh. Schuh said the trails themselves were extremely narrow due to the lack of use. He tried fishing at the lake without success but later caught a brook trout in a stream on the hike back. “It was a really fun experience,” said Joyce Lui, a senior elementary education major from Portland, Oregon; Lui joined the hike to Trask Lake “I wish I went to more CAMP events when I was a young- er student because if I could, I would go again. It was fun to go through that expe- rience with new people I did not know.” CAMP’s annual Freshman Float Trip through Montana River Guides in Alberton Gorge, Montana took place on Sunday, August 25 from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The upperclassmen trip followed on Sunday, September 1. “I’d never rafted before,” said Saki Hoshino, a junior philosophy major from Photo courtesy of Emily McLean Photo courtesy of Joyce Lui A tent with a view.
