GIS Laboratory Saco River Adventure

Once again, the GIS lab has returned to the waters of the raging Saco River for a fun filled day full of good times, good friends and much water. On Friday August 17th a large showing of ten GIS lab members and friends completed the 11 mile paddle down the mighty Saco River braving the white waters in three canoes and four kayaks. The weather started out poor causing hard times for the brave adventures, but after a hearty lunch on a safe stretch of the river the group pulled together to finish their death defying paddle down the Niagara class rapids. After the fun filled day of canoeing, (and swimming for some) the hungry group stopped off for a good old fashion bar-b-que with all the fixings at the Yankee Smokehouse in Whittier NH where they enjoyed the best of all types of bar-b-que cuisine when they ordered the Yankee Smokehouse feast. After polishing off this feast fit for kings in less than fifteen minutes the group indulged their expanded apatites by topping off the meal and the day 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.
