We left the Stark Village Inn at 9 a.m. and headed to Errol getting shuttled by one of Nancy's neighbors. Will be paddling the Androscoggin downstream along with Linda's two boys.
Checked in at Northern Waters (more great people: Todd, Doug, Eric) for our riverside campsite, checked out the town (library was only open from 8 am to noon) and spent the afternoon watching the kayakers and tubers go by. The weather looked iffy and thunderstorms were expected in the early evening.
Paul and Jake arrived around 5:30 pm and we got some sausages, onions and asparagus to cook over the fire, and beer. Took the canoe out on the lake around dusk in search of moose, but no luck. Started sprinkling, but nothing too bad. Overnight we had a thunderstorm that poured enough rain to make the tarp sag down to the picnic table. But we stayed dry.
Tip for library users: Most of the towns that I passed through have libraries and internet access, however the hours of operation vary wildly. Sometimes the libraries are only open certain days of the week, others certain hours. Totally missed out the on more than one because the day I was in town was the day it was closed.
