Reader Comments on Class V Whitewater Rafting on the Dead from YankeeMagazine.com http://www.yankeemagazine.com/rss/index.php Sun, 12 Feb 2012 17:01:50 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/blogs/skiblog/harvard I've always wanted to go white water rafting. Any place in Mass that you suggest? Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Fri, 16 May 2008 15:40:28 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/blogs/skiblog/harvard Hi Priscilla!! I've never been rafting in MA, but Stephen Jermanok just wrote about a raft trip on Deerfield River in northwest MA in the March/April issue of Yankee - http://www.yankeemagazine.com/issues/2008-03/travel/familyadventure/whitewater rafting. Some other rides in MA - http://www.zoaroutdoor.com/drguide.htm. Looks like fun, huh? Yankee Publishing (rss@ypi.com) Mon, 19 May 2008 15:11:07 +0100 http://www.yankeemagazine.com/blogs/skiblog/harvard As a summer camper in Maine many years ago, we spent 10 days on the Dead River (or maybe some other river and then the Dead River?) in aluminum canoes. I am sure that water was not class V, but it was still a tough trip. We wrapped two of our five canoes around rocks (could they still be there?) and one of our counselors had to be picked up at one of the few road junctions because he was sick. It's reassuring to know that rugged, wilderness adventures like these are still available in New England.

When the President inquired about this, no one admitted to having been in The Forks, Maine. Besides which, the chances of the distribution of voices being correct would be slim. It did create some confusion though, because the Glee Club sang Amazing Grace last year. Perhaps charming made-up stories are what people are expecting from this blog?

Not one little bit of it is an exaggeration. In fact, it was much more hilarious in real life. It happened in 05 or 06, a while back. Unlike the bachelor party guys who stayed for the entire weekend, the Glee Club made a round trip from Boston and back in one day because they had homework to do.
