Complex Systems Research Center Saco Bound Rafting Adventure 2000

Once again, the GIS lab has returned to the water for a fun filled day of canoeing on the Saco River. On Friday August 11th a large showing of eleven GIS lab members and friends completed the 11 mile paddle down the the mighty Saco River with an armata of four canoes and three kayaks. The weather held out for the group for most of the day with warm temperatures, off and on sunshine and only slight showers during lunch, but the skys soon opened up like a waterfall shortly after bringing the boats into dry-dock for the trip home.



The adventure bound group enjoyed a great day of canoeing, kayaking, swimming, socializing and just plan old relaxing with friends while navigated the river. After the fun filled day of canoeing, the group stopped off for a good old fashion bar-b-que with all the fixings at the Yankee Smokehouse in Whittier NH. The group enjoyed the best of all types of bar-b-que cuisine and then topped the meal and the day off with huge hot fudge sundaes which can only be described in short as gargantuan is size. There is already talk about returning to the Saco River next year for yet another fun filled adventure of sun, fun, friends and food. Keep your eyes pealed on the GIS lab web page for more details as next summer approaches.
