SUSTAINING MEMBERS ONLY: MAD RIVER BBQ/SWIM/FIRE/FIREWORKS

If you missed it, then you missed the camaraderie and magic of a great Mad River Beach Day in New Hampshire’s White Mountains! I think having this a men’s only event makes for a better time. Everyone attending came from all over the Northeast including New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania!

It’s a steep descent to the Mad River from our house but everyone managed well; some careful footing across the river allowed for everyone to cross safely. Jon was the only one who fully submerged in the water while the rest of us lounged along the river.  Around 5PM we made our way back up the house for some beverages and appetizers on the deck.

After hanging out on the deck for bit, Jon went into the kitchen to work on preparing a delicious meal! Around 8:30 PM Jon lit our burning man bonfire. About an hour later, Jon and I lit off some spectacular fireworks!

For over 20 years, Gay Outdoors has been dedicated to helping gay, bisexual and straight outdoorzy men meet each other online to participate in outdoor activities run by volunteers who post them in our activities calendar, find the latest news of interest to the gay outdoors community, learn about where to go, what gear to buy and how to get started in outdoor activities. It all leads to a safe, healthy and positive lifestyle!

Thanks to all of us that signed up and participated! We had a fun and relaxing time. We hope to see you on our other trips real soon!

Let's celebrate a GayOutdoors Summer! Mix, mingle, ask questions and get to know fellow GO members. Join us at our private beach along the Mad River followed by a potluck, bonfire and fireworks! 

From our house we cross the shallow Mad River to access a private sandy beach. The water will be refreshing on a hot, hazy and humid day. The sandy beach borders a huge section of sunny river rocks so there is plenty of space to spread out for our small group!  You will need sandals or old sneakers to safely cross the river [no flip flops]. We have some beach chairs beside the corner of the house for you to borrow. The beach has trees if you need a break from the sun.  Sunscreen, sunglasses, water, cold beverages, and of course your swim suit.  

If you have other plans, you have the option to skip “chillin’ on the Mad River” segment but please be at the house in time for the BBQ beginning at 5PM. After hanging out on the Mad River, we’ll go back to the house to relax on the deck with great views of the Sandwich Mountain range for appetizers and dinner. It’s BYOB, please bring appetizers to share and its $10 per person.

Later on we’ll light up our bonfire and shoot off some fireworks!!!
