I plan on doing exactly that this weekend.   I'm going up to the MooseFest
and paddling the middle section (class II-III).   I bought a whitewater boat
last winter and due to the lack of rain haven't had the chance to paddle it
on a river yet.   I have spent a bit of time in it in the pool, inlet and
on the
lake and have rolled it dozens of times.  Mostly, I'm going because it sounds
like it's going to be a lot of fun.   Oh, the wild monkey sex thing?   We'll,
I *am* a newlywed.  I'm 45.
