In Errol, NH

The phone isn't working in these mountainous areas. Currently at the Errol library, open 8 am - noon. This is the first library with a Mac. Happy!

We have been hanging around Errol and missed being able to write yesterday afternoon. Linda's boys, Jake and Paul arrived around 5 pm and we had dinner over the open fire, then tried to find some moose! They are out paddling for a few hours moose-spotting, while I'm here at the library.

We had storms late last night, but woke up to sunshine, so that's just fine.

The quick week's synopsis: Had a lovely paddle down the Connecticut, made Linda work UP the Ammonoosuc up to Stark, then got a shuttle and paddled back DOWN the Ammonoosuc to Stark from West Milan. Got a ride up to Errol and today will be paddling the Androscoggin back DOWN. Am jumping all over the place, but covering all the trail in this section.

LOVE Northern Waters, where we are camping along the river and spent yesterday afternoon watching rafters, kayakers and tubers having fun in the river. Todd, Doug and Eric have been very helpful and nice to talk to. Once we get down the Andro, will meet up with Joyce who is flying in today to Burlington and picking up my car. Am looking forward to getting some different clothes. We are also perilously close to being out of instant coffee.
