Almost there! Yeehaw!

 

Some info that might be helpful:

 

- Rob has booked a 3rd campsite. We are apparently allowed only 2 tents per site, but I was told 6 people per site. Lori and I are sleeping in my van, so that is one less tent. If need be we will book a 4th site as they are so cheap anyway.

 

- When you enter the Bluffs, ask for the Bowers sites or Bergey sites. Remember we are sites numbers 7, 9 and 500. We will have to pay $10 for every extra vehicle per site, and I think they only will allow for a couple vehciles on the sites as well, so we all can't park there more than likely. I suggest some people arrange to leave vehicles already at the dam Friday night and bring only what you need back to the Bluffs for the night and leave your gear in your vehicles over night at the dam. I iwll drive people in the morning, so don't worry about that.

 

- We are putting in the River a bit further along than in the past. We lose about 1/2 hr of paddle time. I'm attaching a map of where we launch in comparision to where Paisley is.

 

 

"A" is the Bluffs where we will be camping.

 

"B" is where we launch. It's the first bridge we normally encounter.

 

 Note Paisley in the bottom right corner, which is where we would have launched in previous years. We basically just cut out the big loop arund before we hit the first bridge.

 

This is an overhead view of the difference in launches. A is previous years, B is our new launch.

We do not all need to go to the dam in the morning, We will drop off most all people and all the gear at the bridge, then the drivers will take the cars to the dam, meet the outfitters and return to I assume the other 2/3rd people having a beer at the bridge (of course be aware you are in a public place, so dont make it obvious) There is no need for all of us to go to the dam with all the gear in the morning, This will save some time, and make it easier on the outfitter and us not having to cart all the gear to the dam, just to repack it and cart it back to the bridge.

Also extra cars can park up at the camp ground office for no charge...no need to have tonnes of cars!
I practiced drinking last night so I feel like my pretraining routine is well underway! Dave and Lori - get some extra zzz's this week we want to see you party!

I want to park at the dam as I will have to jet home quickly after the run...I have finals for one of my lax leagues. As much as I don't want to have to race through on Sunday, I probably will leave some of you behind if it is getting late for me. I wish my life would slow down a bit! Ahh!

Welcome

COUNTDOWN!!
