A Three Hour Tour - Gilligan's Island
Meet in the parking lot at 10:30 am. We are embarking on a hopefully not-so fateful trek on this February morning.....a tour of Gilligan's Island and his castaway friends. And while tramping through the woods and along the shores, we may sing a familiar song. Feeling a big nostalgic ? And which character do you most closely associate ?
After our trek we may embark on a series of refreshments and nosh at the Tuckaway to replenish ourselves after a not-so fateful three hour tour.
We will probably be hiking for about 3 to 4 + miles round trip. If there has been snow in the days before the event, you may want to bring microspikes or snowshoes. Come prepared for the elements.
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale
A tale of a fateful trip,
That started from this tropic port,
Aboard this tiny ship.
The mate was a mighty sailin' man,
The Skipper brave and sure.
Five passengers set sail that day,
For a three hour tour,
A three hour tour.
The weather started getting rough,
But the tiny ship was tossed.
If not for the courage of the fearless crew
The Minnow would be lost.
The Minnow would be lost.
The ship set aground on the shore
Of this uncharted desert isle
With Gilligan,
The Skipper too.
A millionaire and his wife,
A movie star,
The professor and Mary Ann,
Here on Gilligan's Isle.
So this is the tale of our castaways,
They're here for a long, long time.
They'll have to make the best of things,
It's an uphill climb.
The first mate and his Skipper, too,
Will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable
In the tropic island nest.
No phone, no lights, no motor car,
Not a single luxury
Like Robinson Crusoe
It's primitive as can be.
So join us here each week my friends,
You're sure to get a smile,
From seven stranded castaways
Here on Gilligan's Isle!
