My initial reaction was "Fuckin' hell!"

People mean "gneiss." It's a great specimen.

Which river? Great find!!

u/UmpireImaginary8806 Sep 10 '24

Thankyou! Saco river in Bartlett, didn't even realize the motel we were at was so close, we went looking for a spot to spark up and stumbled across somewhere straight out of jurassic park. Kind of looked like an insanely violent flood plane lol so I'd definitely check the weather beforehand

Oh I love the Saco.. I frequent a restaurant on the Saco more northern side and it typically is lower than it was this year which was a very high year… good for you!! Very exciting!!!
