North River

Kathy, Kathy, Michael, Deb & Ann

As part of our final weekend in the Northeast, we took Kathy's aunt Kathy Needham up on her offer to take us kayaking up the North River from Marshfield to Hanover. We actually used a canoe for the 11 mile journey up the river. Accompanied by Kathy and her friends Ann Sweeny and Deb Green we enjoyed great weather as we canoed up river through the beautiful marshes stopping for lunch at a quaint little beach known as Blueberry Beach for the blueberries that grow there. Kathy is known for her spirit of adventure and this trip was no different as we paddled against the current as well as a light wind, but we made it and though weary, it was a nice trip. We were on the water for around 6 hours and hardly saw any others out, amazing how isolated you can be so close to "civilization". After the trip, Kathy & I headed over to the UKTS sauna in Pembroke for one final time. This time the lake water was far warmer and much nicer than on our previous visits. Tomorrow we head south hitting the road to New Jesey, DC and then to North Carolina.
