The Forks

I meant to post the details from the trip to The Forks last week, but time got away from me.
We didn't get to go rafting. Both the Kennebec and the Dead were running too fast and too high. My sister's friend said that we'd end up spending our trip down the river bailing (his raft wasn't a self-bailer) and because there was sooooo much water (they were releasing 10,600 cubic feet of water on the Kennebec), we wouldn't have much in the way of rapids.
Many of the rafting companies were still taking people down and I did get to watch this group launch on Sunday morning.

We did get to go on a hike into Grand Falls (45 minutes down a logging road, then a mile hike into the woods)
And that was well worth the trip!

Upta Camp

Guess who gets to go rafting for the first time in her life?

My sister's friends are rafting guides and she invited me to go with them. I've always wanted to do this (and skydive - which is ironic since I have a fear of falling). We'll be going somewhere up near The Forks.

Can't wait can't wait can't wait!
