We will continue under the covered bridge. If it is not windy, we'll travel down the Contoocook River a short distance to paddle across Powder Mill Pond. We can stop for lunch at the boat ramp, or later at a beach on the pond, depending on the wind conditions. We can make what we want out of this trip.
