The kayaks are loaded up. Camping duffles packed. Food and cooler are ready. Gas tank full. Jimmy Buffett in the CD player.

Must be the weekend!

Guess it's time to go somewhere and have some outdoor fun.

You'd think this routine would get old and boring but...

NOT A CHANCE!

I'm bound for Errol, N.H. and the beautiful Umbagog Lake region this afternoon for Big Bob's annual paddling and food extravaganza with 30 other MOACers.

It's two full days of camping at pretty Mollidgewock State Park on the banks of the Androscoggin River, with a considerable amount of whitewater and flatwater fun on the river thrown in just for yucks.

I can deal with that. Oh, can I ever deal with that.

Can I just leave now? Please?

What are you up to on this fine looking weekend ahead?
