    We went with North Country Rivers for our 3rd rafting trip to Maine and it was great! Jackie was very helpful checking us in and getting everyone ready in the pouring rain lol…. Our guide Charley was excellent! Shout out to Ron(the bus driver) we had to go the scenic route due to a tractor trailer crash and he got us home safe!! Thank you again to the whole crew!
