Hike #5942 – Rich Lake to the Hudson – July 3, 2011

Hike #5942 – Rich Lake to the Hudson – July 3, 2011

After shuttling cars and kayaks, 13 kayakers, started off in beautiful Rick Lake.

We soon came to the first and largest “rapids”.   With high water, it appeared that it would be navigable and Don, brave soul, took the lead.   As he disappeared, Madonna soon followed.  Don in the meantime rushed back to tell us that it was a 2 foot drop off as he watched Madonna gracefully take the plunge.   The rest of us carried around but many of us regretted for the rest of the day that we had not tried it!!

We had a few more rapids and some tried to go down them backwards but not having the experience of Grace, we were unable to maneuver it!

We lunched at Great Camp Santanoni where Bill brought us beverages, and then proceeded to the Hudson and back.    It was another perfect day and those in the group who were staying the night in Newcomb came back to the Higgerson’s for “leftovers”.
