Long time UMOC'er Al Howcroft (alberth@housing.umass.edu)
traditionally leads four summer rafting trips on the Dryway section
of the Deerfield River. There are several class IV rapids on this section of river which make for
some very exciting passages! All trips meet at the Kanoe Barn (aka the cold storage building just up
the hill from the Textbook Annex).
Trips are limited to 14 people and are open to anybody over the age of 14. No experience is
necessary but you must be a good swimmer. Trips are extremely cheap at a cost of only $16
including gas ($17 for non-UMass people). Commercial trips on this river are substantially more
expensive.
Bring a complete change of clothing including foot-wear, bathing suit or T-shirt/shorts combo and river shoes for on the water. Eat a big breakfast - there's no stop for lunch! Items to bring:
Sunday June 17th meet at 9:30 AM Sunday July 1st meet at 9:30 AM Sunday August 19th meet at 9:30 AM *Trips go rain or shine! Sign up information You must call Al at (413) 256-1301 to sign up for trips (there are no sign up sheets). You can add one other person per call (not more, due to high demand and limited space).
