I’m planning on being there around 1 also. Hope to see you there.

I’ve been watching the radar, and it looks promising. I boated with Chris Gagnon on Tuesday, but it was a bit rocky in places. Tomorrow is looking much more promising. I just hope it isn’t too high for me to boat it safely.

I got there a little after 10 this morning. I ran into Chris Gagnon and we did a lap. It was a lot of scraping, but still better than not paddling, so I’ll take it.

Are you gonna be able to paddle today Santo? Anyone else?

I just noticed the bump on the gauge myself.  I’m gonna check it in the morning and hopefully it’ll still be up. It would be great to get a run in tomorrow.

Jeff, we will be camping Saturday night at the campground also. I’ve seen your name on here several times, so I’m assuming you are very active in the MWA. I hope I get the chance to meet you this weekend.

I’ll be there Saturday and Sunday. I have one other person I know that will be there Saturday who is bringing some other people from the clinic. This is my first time at the river other than the clinic, and I’m just trying to make some new friends and hopefully find someone willing to help a first year paddler learn the river. It would be nice to meet you.

I do not know the lines very well on the St. Francis, but I was hoping I could find a paddler with more experience on the river to help out in that respect. I have a friend that I made during the clinic who will be there Saturday also, so might be able to join in…[Read more]

Jon, I can be there any time, but it seems like 10 AM is the time everyone always mentions. We will be camping Saturday night, so any time on Sunday would work too.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I’ll try to respond more to everyone tonight after I get off of work.

Chris Gagnon I know, right? I knew better, but natural instinct took over. I’ll get it soon. After popping out of my thigh brace two times in a row, I tightened myself up in the boat. Hopefully that won’t be a problem any more. Thanks again for everything you did during the clinic. You and Scott both inspired confidence. Best weekend I’ve had in a…[Read more]

Thank you Dagger Dan. I’ve been told that by a few people, but at my age, I just like to have things lined up ahead of time…haha. I hope to get the chance to paddle with you one of these days.
