Our twelve eager whitewater rafters arrived at the campground late in the afternoon on Saturday. We pitched our three tents along the
Kennebec river, enjoyed a dinner of pasta & s'mores around the campfire, and explored the area a bit before settling into our
sleeping bags for a cozy night's rest.
The next morning we started things off with a breakfast of oatmeal, picked up our campsite, and headed across to the Crab Apple Whitewater lodge.
At the lodge we got our highly fashionable wetsuits – modeled below by Claudia and Katerine (left) and Sarah, Alexandra, David and Kenzie (right) – as we prepared ourselves for a day of excitement and adventure!

In the basement of the lodge, Serena, Solynka, Erin and Bridget await the safety demonstaration which we watched before beginning our rafting journey.

Katerine, Therese, Kenzie, Claudia, David and Sarah are all set to raft!
Helmets? Check!
Paddles? Check!
River?
Oops... apparently we weren't quite ready to go. |
So we carried our rafts down to the river. The staircase had nice rails which made the job a whole lot easier.
