    BradDavis replied to the topic Silver mis as closure? in the forum General Discussion 9 months, 3 weeks ago

    Yes that is correct. According to Sam’s post, the Forestry Service is requiring them to have everyone out of the campground and picnic areas by noon today and all of the gates will be locked.

    BradDavis replied to the topic Sunday on St. Francis in the forum General Discussion 10 months, 3 weeks ago

    If I paddle this weekend, it will probably be on Saturday, but I have seen a few people say they are paddling Sunday. If you haven’t already joined the Missouri Whitewater Association Facebook group, I would recommend it. People seem to post a lot more about paddling dates and times on Facebook than they do here on the message board. Hope to run…[Read more]

    BradDavis replied to the topic New Member intro in the forum General Discussion 1 year ago

    Welcome to the group, Chris. I am still a first-year paddler myself. The first day of the clinic this past April was my second day on moving water in my whitewater boat. I have made a lot of mistakes in the past 8 or 9 months, but I have also learned a bunch. I will promise you one thing….you will not meet a more friendly or helpful group of…[Read more]

    BradDavis replied to the topic MWA Ocoee trip 19-20 October in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 3 months ago

    I’m interested in making the Ocoee run on Sunday. Probably won’t be able to make it on Saturday due to work. I know you said to email you in the post above, but I can’t seem to find your email address on here. My email is [email protected] if you would rather contact me that way. I have made three trips down the middle, but haven’t ran all of the…[Read more]

    BradDavis replied to the topic Newbie needing help in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 4 months ago

    Just keep an eye one this message board, and I’m sure you will find plenty of opportunities to paddle with some fine folks. Any time the water is up, there is always someone paddling on the Saint. I’m just a first year paddler myself, but I have met some great folks at the Saint and every single one of them has been friendly and very helpful. Hope…[Read more]

    BradDavis replied to the topic Report from the Saint in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 7 months ago

    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.

    BradDavis replied to the topic St Francis could be running Tuesday morning. in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 7 months ago

    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.

    BradDavis replied to the topic St Francis could be running Tuesday morning. in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 7 months ago

    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.

    BradDavis replied to the topic 5/18 and 5/19 Paddling in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 8 months ago

    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.

    BradDavis replied to the topic 5/18 and 5/19 Paddling in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 8 months ago

    I’ll be paddling Saturday and Sunday and would be glad to meet and paddle with 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.

    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.
