Maine Rafting Fun Blog

What else do we need to say? Act now to get a killer offer we may never repeat: 40% off all 2009 high water release rafting trips.

Raft the amazing Dead or Kennebec rivers, and — also for a short time — buy a gift certificate for friends or family at 40% off. Hey, Christmas is coming up, surprise your loved ones with some summer fun!

I can’t believe it! The Snow just keeps piling up and all we can talk about is how HUGE the Dead River is going to be and what a great experience guide training will be with this much run off.

Every true raft guide we know has got “sugar plums of giant whitewater” dancing in their heads. It is supposed to snow more! The snowmobiling is still great, we skied yesterday and it was awesome, but even while enjoying these great winter sports those whitewater sugar plums just keep dancing, and then you look up at the sky and the day dream off jumping from a plane and flying truly free sneaks in.

Damn, I’ve got to stop with the day dreaming and finish getting ready for what I hope is going to be the greatest summer of all time. Life is short, join me for some fun. That is what is most important in life! Come on yall, write in this blog and let me hear your summer day dreams.

There’s only one word for life at the Forks this past week: Wicked Awesome! The warm weather has scared off the mosquitoes meaning we can all wear a little more comfortable clothing… especially for those who were at the Toga Party! The house was packed for Taco Tuesday, as the band “1 2 Many” came to rock the roof off.

This weekend were were graced with the Christopher Brothers, who joined us to kick off Karaoke nights and a rocking end of June party played by JC & The Pickups… prizes, giveaways, and beverages were enjoyed by all.

So what are you waiting for?! The best time of the year for rafting is NOW, and there’s plenty of food, drink, music, and white water fun to go around.

Hey Everybody, the season is off to an amazing start with super high water on The Kennebec, Dead, and Penobscot Rivers making for some epic days on the river. The nights have been no less exciting, dancing to some great bands, signing along to All Star Karaoke and enjoying food and fires with old and new friends.

It is going by really fast though. I can’t believe that it is already June! We only have a couple high water Dead River releases left, but when that is done the Kennebec and Penobscot are still pumping out big water around the clock 7 days a week and with all this water around it will continue like that throughout the entire summer.

This past weekend I hung out with the American International College crew and the always fun Rollins group from New Hampshire at the Penobscot Outpost. We sang Karaoke and gathered around some of the campfires for some late night food. Sunday’s skydives got rained out but the rafting on the Penobscot was awesome. Some of the Belfast High School outing club had a mishap at Exterminator rapid and swam some of the gorge but no one got so much as a bruise and most thought it was a fun experience.

In The Forks this weekend The Dead River was awesome with 120+ crew and guides with a flow of near 6000 cubic feet per second of water. The crew included Interlakes and New Bedford High Schools as well as friends and guests from all over. Young Seth the guide wiped out at Elephant Rock Rapid and his whole boat took a short swim that was the talk of the Day. Once again all involved were fine. Karaoke Friday night was a big hit and The Returnables rocked the house with fun danceable rock and roll on Saturday. A great weekend was had by all.

We are all excited for the last two big Dead River Releases of the spring are on the 9th and 17th of June and should not be missed. There will be Karaoke at Both boatman’s bar and grill locations for the rest of the summer and for this coming weekend The Three Horsemen are playing at The Forks Saturday night and Between The Lines will rocking The Penobscot Outpost in Millinocket. Myself and the Jump and Raft Crew will be skydiving all weekend.

Don’t just sit there, get your butt up here and have some fun!
