Just incase you were wondering. The good kayaking in Maine is really far from Lake Placid, New York. I drove a lot this weekend, but had a really good time, doing some really good kayaking, with some really good people.
I rolled into Dartmouth on Friday morning, met up with Xavier and Jeff, and headed over to the Pemi. It was low, but it was on the way and it was my first time there. We had a good time banging down the NH classic and headed into Maine to pick-up Bradford. After leaving lake Placid at 8:00 AM we finally made it to the take-out of the Gulf Hagas at 11:30 pm.
On Saturday mornign our group coninued to grow from 6 people to 10. By the time we put on, we had a really strong crew putting on the Gulf Hagas at an "optimal flow." The Gulf Hagas is certainly a classic run. Really high quality rapids in a beautiful gorge. After a successful first lap four of us headed back up the road for a blazing second run.
On Sunday we paddled a less than optimally flowing Moxie Stream, but it was still really fun. We began our journey back around 2:00 pm, and I arrived in Lake Placid at 2:00 AM.
I'm tired now, but after a week of work I'll be ready for more.
Thank you to Scott Barnes, and Xavier Engle for the photos
