For 21-years, the MVP and NHAMC have been sponsoring the year-end Drawdown and BBQ on the class II section of the Piscataquog River below the Gregg’s Falls Dam in NH. Jonathan and I were planning to do a tandem run, so we rounded up a few other tandem boaters to join us – a tandem boat posse.
This section is about 3-miles long with the most consistent rapids in the first mile. We took our time heading down through the first few rapids, and Jonathan and I tried our luck at surfing. From there is it mostly quickwater down to the take-out. There is one last rocky drop just above the take out. Kayaks still outnumbered the canoes by a lot, but the open boats made a good showing.
After a second "bomber run" we headed back to the dam for the BBQ – hamburgers, hot dogs and good company. Great day as always.
