Lehigh River Weekend























Last weekend we hit up the Lehigh river for some whitewater paddling.  We had a quite the group, 10 of us.  Bob, Nick, Colin, Kathleen, Joe, John, Bill Steve, Jeanette and ,myself.  There hasn't been much rain this summer and so the dam release was lower then normal, only 600 cfs.  This made for smaller features, but still a really enjoyable time.  We paddled the upper section and this was Colin and Kathleen's first time.  They each paddled in style - Colin using the blue banana sit on top, perhaps one of the tippiest boats on the river and Kathleen in the bruiser yellow sit on top which plowed through any obstacle in its path.  The weather was a bit overcast, but that didn't stop us from having a great paddle.  We finished with pizza at Carmine's, one of our favorite places up there.  Then a group of us headed up to our cabin in the poconos to stay the night.
