This weekend I went white water rafting on the Penobscot River in Millinocket, Maine. I had my fingers crossed that they'd have a patch for me to add to my collection, and sure enough, they did! The whole weekend was amazing, thanks to this guy by the name of Nate who I think is really awesome and super. He planned the whole weekend and coordinated our campsite and rafting trip, and everyone who went on the trip had a blast, including Nate, James, Pranay, Tim, Vivek, Marjena, Milan, and myself.
Besides having the opportunity to raft Class 5 rapids (one of which is considered the most technical Class 5 rapid in the United States), camp in the woods, and have an excellent lobstah meal on our last night at camp, the best part about the weekend was the company with whom I spent it. I moved to Boston three months ago without knowing anyone, and I am so grateful to all of those who have been so kind to me and have made me feel so welcomed. Every patch has a story, and the story that I'll remember about this patch, besides us totally owning those rapids yesterday, has all to do with the folks who were there with me when I got it.
That's a really nice patch with good detail, it appears to have good stitching. I like it because the graphic is indicative of the activity and it says exactly what what you did: the Penobscot River in Maine. Very nice. Colors are good but not beautiful. I give this patch and 8 of 10. I debated a 9 but decided against.
