It felt like Fall when I headed out this morning, but it
turned out to be a great day. It
always helps to start the day off with a morning paddle. I got together with Jim C, Jeff, Sharon
and Jim S to paddle the upper Wood River from Route 165 in Exeter to the
Wyoming Dam (Route 138) in
Richmond. The river was at a nice
level – 2 feet on the Hope Valley gage and 3 feet on the Arcadia gage.
We put in at about 9:30 and headed downstream. The river starts out narrow as it twists
and turns through the Arcadia State Forest. It finally opens up as it approaches Frying Pan Pond, which
was full of yellow daisies. We portaged
the Barberville Dam on the right (not enough water to run the small rapids on
the left) and headed down to the Wyoming Dam.
The trip was done by noon, and I was home around 1:30 to do
some work around the house – can’t beat that.
