White Water Rafting Weekend

What a long traveling weekend! On Friday September 9th, Lauren and I left Brattleboro for Bunganut Lake Camp in Alfred Maine to meet Lauren's family. I left Alfred with Lauren's dad and brother while Lauren, her sister, and her mother stayed at the campground. The men headed for The Forks in Maine and the drive was very calm and peaceful. We finally arrived to Lake Moxie Camp (Moxie Outdoor Adventures) and camped overnight. It was really cold and stayed in a 4 bunk bed camp. We stayed closely by the fire and had enough beers to stay warm!

The next morning, we had breakfast and got ready to go White Water Rafting along Kennebec River. We got our equipment and got on a crap bus for Kennebec River. Finally, we arrived to get our raft and did some practice before heading to the rapid river. We arrived to the water and the big dam was just right there pushing the water like crazy. We finally got on the boat and raced down big waves and getting all wet. The next two hours was really rough and later the water started to ease down. We stopped by at an island along the river for lunch and got back rafting again, but the water was very mellow and went swimming.

We arrived to the end of the trip and headed back to Lake Moxie Camp to have dinner and some drinks. We headed to a bar nearby and it was really neat, had several drinks, I was so cold and wasted.

On Sunday morning, we all got up and left Lake Moxie for Bunganut Lake Camp to meet the ladies. It was another long road trip day for me and Lauren back to Brattleboro. The weekend was really good and want to go back White Water Rafting again. Whoever have never went white water rafting before is recommended!
