Ran the Androscoggin rapids Wednesday. The expression on Meghan's face when they began was sheer terror. It gradually transformed into a broad smile as her confidence built and realized whitewater could be fun.
Went from Errol a short ways upstream to Lake Umbagog, the huge lake straddling the NH, Maine border. It was windy and choppy, but manageable. Across to the base of the Rapid River to the Cedar Stump campsites. This is run by a private outfitter and they have to be reserved. When people found out Chris and Meghan were through paddling they let them stay for free.
Completed the three mile portage along the Rapid River this morning and reached Lower Richardson Lake. The rest of their day will be along paddle up Lower and Upper Richardson Lakes. With weather and wind permitting they will cross Mooselookmeguntic to camp. Than it will be on to Rangely Lake tomorrow.
