There's fun in numbers

A photo tour of Big Bob's River-Food-Camp Fest, of which I was a willing participant, last weekend at Mollidgewock State Park in Errol, N.H.

I'm telling you, there's nothing quite like camping and paddling with 30 other fun loving people...

Where else on a tremendous summer weekend but "on the river"? Thanks Bob!

Nice Shots Mr. Kish! Can't say it sucked... because obviously it didn't! Too bad you didn't stay for the second run down Pontook... No carnage on that run!

Later

PM
