Wild Turkey Paddlers

Hey!
We are getting ready for our annual spring run of your Nemasket River, from Vaughan Street to Taunton River. I'll shoot you a message when we have a date set!
Also, nice trip report, but cold water paddlers, especially solo, need immersion wear. Save up for that drysuit!

Very nice day, sunny with blue skies, 5 mph breeze. Being a Tuesday, boat traffic was very light, kayakers outnumbered them for sure! Three of us made the jaunt, still trying to convince brother Sean of the virtues of length, and rudders, but alas, he still holds comfort above all else! I love the w...

Learned of this while researching what had happened to me while snowboarding a couple of years ago. Caught a Tuesday storm at Bretton Woods, a real honest to goodness 24+ inches. Drove up in it the night before just to be there for first tracks in the AM. First run down, surfing the sweet deepness, ...

Some of us are just pushing the envelope, getting out early this year, and making others jealous with trip reports. (I know that there are people that go out all year, but it's not that common in this group from what I've seen.) Norm Understatement of the year! The man is on a mission, and providin...

Another great report from what must have been a very fun week. Way to get after it!

I had scouted some of the bridges the day before, and the water had actually gone down a bit in just 24 hours. You should be golden by vacation week, barring any more torential rains....

Weather was overcast with sprinkles, but we appreciated the coolness. 10 bridges total, but with only 2 portages, and a couple o...

There's no sea kayaking in the X-Games?

Seriously, maybe too many other warm weather options?
Kayaking has to share my free time with mountain biking, hiking, and golf. I would definitely kayak more if did not enjoy the others.

Probably not with this nice group of fine folks here, but on other paddling forums,

"Those there be fightin words!"

Hello! I have done a bit of paddling around there the last few years, being the location of a cottage that my friend owns, who also has been paddling there for longer. I'm sure many others on here could tell you as much, but having just been there last Friday, thought I'd throw my 2 cents in. The tr...

Hey all!

Long time lurker would like to thank all of you "veterans" for all your beta, knowledge, and inspiration over the years. It's been fun following along.....
