When it is 90° and muggy, there is no better place to be than paddling. We did a RICKA Flatwater/Whitewater trip on the Lower Deerfield – six boats (2 canoes and 4 kayaks). The release was scheduled at 800 cfs, but the gage showed that they were releasing over 1,000 cfs. Bill and I paddled the beast - my Mohawk Whitewater 16.

The river was mobbed with tubers, but we still managed to have a good time. More than a few swims – most intentional, a couple not. 😎
