Wet and Wild on the Androscoggin

It was all-river-all-the-time this past weekend. Well, actually, there was also an enormous amount of good food, a huge bonfire, and a rather large gathering of very fun people. A dangerous combination for sure, but somehow we managed.

This was Big Bob's annual MOAC Errol NH paddling weekend. And it was a outstanding time! We camped out for 2 nights at Mollidgewock State Park just outside of Errol, right on the banks of the Androscoggin River. There were 35 of us, so it was quite a scene.

We paddled the Androscoggin on Saturday right from the campground. It was 10 miles of easy Class I-II water. In the afternoon we played in the Errol Rips near the junction of Routes 16 and 26. Some folks tubed it, while I duckied it. Dave kayaked it and ended up cracking his helmet on a rock during a roll that went bad! On Sunday we put in downriver at the Pontook Dam and paddled 6-8 miles of fun Class 2 water. In all, it was a fine weekend with good friends. Damn, I just hate when that happens!
