After a serene paddle across Pond in the River, there is a mile of class II warm-up before the rollicking class IV pitches, followed by lunch and crunch at Smooth Ledge, one of the best play holes around. A few more fun rapids and you're at Lake Umbagog. If you're a class IV paddler, put the Rapid on your list!"

| Fri-Sun Aug 20-22 | Downeast Sea Kayak Trip | | | Our plans are set for the August 20 - 22 Downeast Sea Kayak Trip - we need to return home on the 22nd. . We'll plan to do three day trips - all subject to weather conditions. If the weather doesn't cooperate, hiking the Bold Coast or West Quoddy Head Trails will be backup. Nancy and I will be camping at Cobscook Bay State Park Friday and Saturday nights (Aug 20 & 21). We have reserved tent site # 88. I spoke with park officials (726-4412) who recommended making reservations. The number for making reservations is 624-9950. Our very tentative paddling plans are as follows: -Friday: Machias Bay -Saturday: Option 1, Bold Coast; Option 2, Something else -Sunday: Englishman Bay The specific meeting time for Firday is yet to be determined. We plan to be in the neighborhood, so we'll probably meet around mid-morning. | Ron Chase | 725-4342 | email |

| Fri, Aug 27 - Sat, Sept 4 | Prince Edward Island Bike Trip | | | This is the basic plan for this trip. For a more detailed description of the trip or for more information, please contact the trip leader: Jim Francoeur @ weski2@gmail.com or call 207 712-0925. Sign-up deadline is: July 1, 2010
We are traveling to Tignish, PEI 8/27. You will need your Passport for entry into Canada and for the return trip back into the USA. On 8/28 a prep/rest day is planned. The bike ride will start on 8/29 and end on 9/2. 9/3 is planned for a rest day and a preparation day for the return trip home on 9/4.
We are planning to ride the entire length of the Confederation Trail over 5 days. We will be riding our bikes for about 200 miles during this trip. The type of bike you ride on the trail is your choice. A mountain bike is recommended. The trial is an old railroad bed and has been greatly improved. The trail is still made up of dirt and loose gravel in most areas. All bikes brought with you will need to be checked out/serviced by your local bike shop prior to the ride. Please provide proof. Bike helmets are required for this trip.
We will ride as a group. Along the trail there are many scenic views and interpretive sites. There are also many shelters along the way for rest stops and bathroom breaks. The plan is for a bike ride (pace) of 8 mph. This is considered slow. There could be times when we will need to go a bit faster to make up for lost time.
This is also a camping trip, so plan accordingly. We will camp at local campgrounds along the trial each day. We will have my truck and trailer to transport equipment (if needed). On day three of the trip, there is a motel at our campsite if you require little bit more comfort for that night at an additional cost. The basic cost for camping is approximately $120.00. Camping fee payment deadline is: July 23, 2010.
THERE IS NO REFUND AFTER THE JULY 1ST DEADLINE.
Other than power bars, snacks and water that you should be carrying with you while on your bikes, all of our food will be purchased along the trail or in towns that we camp by. The cost is: ?
If you are not a cyclist or just not interested in riding the Confederation Trail and just want to see PEI, I am looking for a few support personnel to help with moving vehicle(s) and equipment around. There will be plenty of time for you to explore the island while we are riding our bikes. Please contact me for more information on how you can see PEI and help us out at the same time. | Jim Fancoeur | 207 712-0925 | email |

| Sat-Sun Sep 25-26 | Roll Dams | | III | The 'Roll Dams' (sometimes called Seboomook) section of the West Branch of the Penobscot is a favorite PPCS paddling and camping destination. Beginning just below Seboomook Lake, this section is one of the best places for intermediate paddlers to improve their paddling skills. Barely 2 miles long, it is commonly run twice in a day. Sculpted, river-wide ledges create short, dramatic drops with rescue pools below and plenty of great play spots. | Helen Hess | 288-9510 | email |

| Sat-Sun Oct 2-3 | Hudson River, NY | | IV | The Hudson River Gorge is one of the finest runs in the East. Utterly majestic scenery, complete isolation and challenging rapids all make this trip unforgettable. Once you've started the Hudson trip, it is very difficult to pull out. The put in is on the Indian River which joins with the Hudson after about a mile. This section is class 3+ under most conditions and a good warm-up for the more difficult sections on the Hudson. The Hudson starts out as a class 2 run, and the pace quickens. Blue Ledge looms high over head, a bare rock face towers 200 feet upward, Blue Ledges guards the entrance to the more difficult rapids ahead. The upcoming rapids can be technical, with lots of rocks and holes in fast heavy water. It is rated class 4 at a gage reading of 5.0 ft. The run eventually quiets down and there is a long flat stretch to paddle before the take out. If it is a cold day, bring extra clothing and food; it's a long 12.5 miles. | Jean Miller, Ryan Galway | 860-309-8360, 650-0978 | email |
