| The crew at the put-in |
It was 70°and sunny on Saturday, so I worked in the yard. The forecast was 50° and rain on Sunday, so that was the day that I paddled.
I decided to join the NHAMC trip on the Upper Winni in Tilton. It has been a couple of years since I have done this trip. It's a long drive for a short easy trip, but there wasn’t a lot of other options. With the rainy weather, I thought it would be a small group, but we ended up with 13 boats including 5 canoes.

We put in at the boat ramp on Sharker Street off Route 140 and took out at Riverfront Park. The river was at a nice level – 4.3’, 1,100 on the Tilton gage. The river starts off with quickwater along Route I-93. At the first railroad bridge starts the slalom course through First Trestle and Cribworks, followed by Second Trestle and waves below the School Street bridge.
It took us about an hour and a half to do the run. I thought about a second run, but with the lousy weather I decided one run was enough. Still glad I went.
