2023 He-Man Canoe Trip Registration Form

Introduction

Please join us on the 40th He-Man canoe trip. Be part of a physically challenging trip, surrounded by beautiful scenery and good company.

This is an invitation only trip. If you have not gone before, you must be sponsored by a previous participant. The understanding is that a if a Rookie (first year He-Man) wimps out during the trip, the sponsor is responsible to paddle your sorry body for the rest of the trip.

The 40th annual He-Man will be held Memorial weekend, May 26th to the 29th. We will be meeting Friday night at the Roloff's cabins and heading out early Saturday morning. To reserve your spot on this fun (men only) trip, fill out the registration form below. Please enter your registration by May 7th (mother's day). The cost of the trip is $30.00 plus food that you will be assigned to bring.

You can see who is registered or answers from last year.

2022 Questions (humorous answers please)

1) During the 2022 trip we found on the Manitowish River an old basketball. We were using it as a "splash ball" between canoes. George refused to participate. So in response we put the ball in his truck at the end of the trip. Why do you think George did not want to participate and what should we do if he does not return this sacred He-Man object for this year's trip?
2) Kenny and Scott were partners in 2022, telling us that they were working out together and were in shape. On the first day it was quite rainy and Kenny/Scott were lagging behind. At the Trout River log crossing, Scott fell in up to his neck in water. Saturday evening Ron came and pulled Kenny and Scott out of the trip. Scott has announced his He-Man retirement. What should we require if Kenny says he wants to be on the trip?
3) At the He-Man of the year throw-in spot (above Lake of the Falls dam), there was a major insect hatching. As Christopher (He-Man of the year) described it as follows: "That spot was like nothing I seen before, so many bugs in the air, felt like a scene from Indiana Jones. There we where trying to protect a Treasure of some sort. After I got tossed in I got attacked by them being all over me, trying not to talk so they wouldn't get into my mouth. When I got out of the water I looked over to the canoes and they were covered in them, canoes turned black with bugs. It's like they didn't want us to live in peace. So us brave souls went through them and started a journey taking on thousands of them. We were paddling and swatting them away at the same time, looking for some momentum to shake them off. And then we went under a bridge and there was a huge cloud of them waiting for us. We went through them because it's the He-Man and nothing stands in our way. It took at least two miles until we were bug free.". If you were on the trip, is that they way you remember this event? If not, how does Christopher's description excite you about going on the trip?
4) On the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage, Dave lead the group into three dead-end bays while trying to get to the central portion of the flowage. After the third dead end, Dave's partner Ian had enough and took the map and guided us out of the mess. What do you think was wrong with Dave in that situation? Can we trust Dave in navigation anymore?
