2014 Year End Review

Unfortunately, I needed to work on New Years Eve, so my paddling is done for 2014. I always try to do at least one big trip each month, and here are some of the more significant ones:

January – Pawtuxet Cove

 February - Pawcatuck River -Richmond to Bradford  

March -  Branch River Icebreaker, Jim O'Brien Memorial Paddle

April -  Upper Millers, the Mighty Quin

May -  Ottauquechee River, Scantic River Church, Assabet/Concord - Acton to Concord

June -  Dead River Weekend

July -  Vacation on Great Island, Riverton
August -  Lower Deerfield

September -  Pawcatuck River Overnight, Seekonk River

October -  Nashua River - Groton to Pepperell

November -  Quinnebaug - Sturbridge to Southbridge, Satan's Kingdom

December -  Crystal/Boateater

I didn't do much camping this year - just a couple of overnight trips with the Paddle Across Rhode Island crew and RICKA.   Hopefully I will get to do some more camping next year.  Mike is talking about a trip on the Allegheny River in northwest Pennsylvania, and Tommy is talking about doing a couple of sections of the NFCT: Section 1 - Old Forge to Long Lake; Section 5 - Missisquoi; and Sections 9 & 10 - Rangley to Moosehead.

Some of my favorite trips for the year are here:
