Anyone interested in a Fife Brook run

I'm thinking Saturday.

One swim at the Gap

Had a good time yesterday with Paul, Fran and Charlie on the Deerfield River. We ran the section from the Fife Brook Dam down to the Shunpike Rest Area. We had two successful runs through the Gap (Paul and Charlie) and one swim (me). We got Charlie and I on video. You’ll have to believe me that Paul made it through in style.

Housatonic sometime Charlie - when there's water.

Nice paddling with you.

Maybe we can coax Matt to go, too.

Not a beer drinker, and I don't pick up litter - I should be fine.

Watch out for the boys in Blue...they're getting to be real assholes at the Fife take out.

Yeah I heard a story from my neighbor's cousin's coworker's brother. Heard the cops tasered a family for looking at a discarded beer can on the ground. National Guard is supposed to be patrolling the area next weekend. (Is this about where the story is now?)

Talk about mob mentality...

I ain't going there no more. Last time I was there at the takeout they were going after a family at the tables. I just don't want to be around any of that. What is the fricking world coming to.

Flatwater in RI is actually very nice to paddle and you don't need a shuttle. I feel totally satisfied with it at this point.
