Another idea for Sunday - flatwater, quickwater, class I, and a couple of broken dams that might qualify as class II. I'm bringing my poling boat.

Had a good time yesterday on the North Branch of the Nashua River. We had 5 canoes and 2 kayaks. I brought my poling boat, but ended up paddling tandem with Jeff in his Appalachian. I haven't paddled tandem in a while, and it was a good time.

It was the first time for me on the Nashua River. It was mostly flatwater with some quickwater and a couple of broken dams. The first broken dam was a hoot - probably class II yesterday with a 3-foot drop into a large hole at the bottom.

I sure had a blast yesterday. Nice river, good people, good times. Less and less I feel the need to run he GNAR, it's good to get out on any type of water. I enjoyed paddling tandem with Erik, it's like a whole different type of boating.

Jeff - you need to get that center bag installed so we can do it again (or we can use my boat). By the way, spec's say the Appalachian is 35" wide - seems narrower.

Ok, I'm out of the loop here- what is GNAR? When do I get to tandem boat? And is the GNAR something want to hit! Run it up the middle!
