Houlton Thursday pm race

[fred]

This week's offering for the Thursday evening MaCKRO flatwater series race is in Houlton--actually about five miles south of town on Nickerson Lake. You can Google "Nickerson Lake Maine" or you can find it easily in the Gazeteer. Approx. 4-mile loop. A couple of different start times are out there (6 and 6:30), so I'll most likely hold off a bit on the start until I'm pretty sure no one else is coming. You know the routine: no entry fee (though donations are accepted), no t-shirts, no prizes, no awards--basically just a chance to compete against others who enjoy flatwater competition.

Where on Nickerson do we go to get to the start? The State Park???

Thanks for asking, Jeff!

Follow the signs to the public boat landing; it is on the far east end of the lake.
