68.109.31.148That's a good question. It's supposed to rain heavy at times Sunday, That would be fine if it were warm, but at 50, it might be a bit much. Erik, Tom, Jeff what do you guys think? - Re: Farmington River 17th & 18th

198.7.245.48I am willing to try damn near anything, especially since i missed the trip to the west. My main worry comes from the idea of water on the face. My gear should protect me otherwise. Also, anybody feel like carpooling?

68.9.41.37I'm still planning to pole tomorrow and paddle Sunday - I will see you guys at MacD's tomorrow, but don't think I will have room on my car for any boats.

68.109.31.148Yes! That's the New Boston Section I assume. I didn't know they'll have a release each day? Will they be different? I pick the better (warmer) day if the same or the higher flow. I lived through the Dryway Sun, so I'm looking for another adventure. Who else is in? - Re: Farmington River 17th & 18th

68.109.31.148The NB section (according to Riverfacts.com) is described in 3 sections: The Upper Upper -Class II 5 miles, The Uppper - III/IV 3 miles and the Lower Class II/III - 2.25 miles. Seems like a nice warm up and cool down from the mid section. Are we doing all 10.25? Tom, what town is the put in? - Re: Farmington River 17th & 18th

68.9.41.37I'm planning to be there both days. Saturday there's a poling trip on the lower section. Sunday I'll get the WW boat out for a run. As of now I am planning to come home Saturday night so I don't have to take both boats - we'll see.
The top to bottom run is nice, but all the exciting stuff is in the middle below the slalom course. I’ve only done the run once and remember that the put-in for the upper section and slalom course are off Rt 8 in New Boston, MA. Don’t remember where the take-out is. Unfortunately, the link to the directions on American Whitewater doesn’t work.
Paul - you survived the Dryway - what's the deal. - Re: Farmington River 17th & 18th

Everyone else? - Re: Farmington River 17th & 18th

166.137.135.36I'm down for WW boats Sunday and wouldn't mind polling Saturday but I'd have to borrow someones spare poll - mine is only good for firewood at this point.
I think we should go for the more difficult run but maybe there would be another group for the other sections. Maybe run the middle through lower section(?). - Re: Farmington River 17th & 18th

68.9.41.37Looks like we have 3 for poling Saturday (Erik, Jeff, Chuck) and three for paddling Sunday (Erik, Jeff, Paul). Rain starts tomorrow and continues through the weekend - maybe it will bring the level up. - Re: Farmington River 17th & 18th

68.109.31.148I'm not sure of my travel plans yet. I might be going up with these two other guys, but so far haven't heard anything back from them. If not, then sure I can travel up with you and Erik, if he doesn't stay the night. Let you know later. - Re: Farmington River 17th & 18th
