I will be there, but camping offsite.  I can meet at NOC bridge, river left @ 10 AM.

Or, I’ll PM you my cell # if you want to meet earlier.

Looks like it went over Farmington / Fredricktown before it got here, but might have been East Side of Watershed.

WATCH THE GAGE!

Not sure all the details, but looks like you cannot buy Star slice direct any longer.

I contacted them regarding a repair to my boat, and received response back from NRS.

Went online and see that NRS now sells the boat, but they don’t offer any repair service (and seems don’t honor original warranty from Star).

Besides all that, I…Read more

If you don’t like to be around a bunch of drunk people don’t go there, but hey I didn’t mind so much.

I decided to take the slice, and I would carry the cooler.  Got to the put-in, started to inflate, and started noticing I had to re-inflate…Read more

It was a little difficult to manage a family vacation and MWA trip at same time, but I hope it worked out well for everyone.  Wish I could have spent some extra time at NOC hanging out with everyone.

Some good MWA friends (Sara, Bill P, Joe & Debi B., Mason & Chris G.) s…Read more

I just sent email out to everyone who had previously contacted me about going on MWA SE Trip

It includes contact list, directions, Friday float plans.

Looks like several of the potential rivers have fairly high water right now, and chance of rain this weekend.

Friday plan to run the Tuckaseegee:  meet at NOC Footbridge…Read more

Jim Warren gave me good idea on organizing this trip.

Please email me your contact information (Cell Phone, Email, Facebook (if available)), and let me know if ok to share with the other participants.  This way everyone will have a way to contact the others if any of our plans change.  I will compile the list and send it o…Read more

Cassara has set-up an email address that mirror to my personal email address:  tripleader@missouriwhitewater.org

Send me a msg if there are any questions and you can reserve bunks for Fri-Sun on MWA store page by THIS FRIDAY.

So far, I  have:

Trucker Joe

Kathy P.

Eric Anderson And Claire (Seperate Lodging)

Chris Gaines – Not s…Read more

Haven’t heard of any NOC bunks being reserved.  Need to let them know if we are using them or not by Friday.

Go to online shop for easiest way to reserve your spot.

Only 2 weeks left to reserve your spot, and then we will need to release any unused bunks back to NOC for rental.

Link to MWA shop for odering your bunk:

https://missouriwhitewater.org/product/southeast-trip-bunk-reservation/

Or I suppose you can mail payment to MWA Treasurer:

Hopefully we will get a link up on MWA Shop to reserve bunks soon.

Cost will be $25 / person / night

Let me know if you have one your interested in selling.

Will try to keep it to the easier rivers so we can accommodate new boaters who have just taken the clinic in April.

I will take all the safety boaters / suggestions I can get, and hopefully there will be enough to take intermediate boaters on more challenging…Read more

interested in Very Good condition used or recommendation for New (Durable & Affordable)

Where you guys meeting (D Bridge)?

Sounds like a good plan, but not sure if we can make it by 9.  I’ll shoot you a text in morning if me and Putt can make it, but don’t wait on us.

I’m thinking we’re gonna bail on the New Year’s at the River Party.  Anyone else still going?

Thinking of cutting out early and checking Castor – probably be there around 4 – depending how work goes.

Never ran it before.  Anyone have any advice on sections / levels this time of year?

Looks like it is low but still runnable, although probably can’t do Ponca section.

Jace might appreciate the gradual warm up to doing his first Southeast trip.

Anyway, we are staying in Chattanooga Thursday night, and will be somewhere on Friday, but not likely the NOC parking lot at 10AM

I wonder:  Is it an ACA requirement to sign a…Read more

I can help with Safety for river trips, but I will have my 12 y.o. son (priority) with me.  We will probably stick to the beginner groups.

If it’s not running, we’ll probably head to Saint.

Dan I may try to make 2 laps, play it by ear.

We all live South of town, and all the damage is North of Perryville.  There’s pretty heavy damage between Perryville and Brewer.  I haven’t really seen it first hand yet, Hwy 61 north of TG is closed.  I did hear it strecthed several miles west of the interstate, and maybe al…Read more

Kayak bar to fit 2″ Receiver hitch.  Good for long boats or canoes.

All hardware to put on vehicle included.

I really want to try a Loki ((M/L) if anyone is willing to loan it out for a trip down the Saint

Already have a Burn, so looking for something smaller and more slicey, but not full on play boat.

I have size 11 shoe and can’t stand the thought of having my dogs jammed up in the…Read more

Sarah, good idea, but a scout troop picked it up this morning from Craigslist ad.

Only bought it because it was a good deal on used suit.

Previous owner convinced me that you wouldn’t ever be kayaking alone when you need to use a drysuit, so I agreed and bought it.  Luckily, I’ve always been able to find a buddy who would help me out and zip it.

It’s g…Read more

About 1.5′ over bridge when we arrived and didn’t look like it dropped much while we were boating maybe 1′ over @ 5:30.

Recently bought an RV, and can’t pull both. Details listed on STL Craigslist

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/boa/5961111018.html

Maybe Jim or Dave can confirm.

Just wanted to make a friendly reminder that campsites are reservable 6 months ahead, so people may want to start thinking about that now (especially if your looking for an electric site).

By the way:  Thanks for fixing the MWA gage widget!

Not exactly sure why I made this, but I was geekin out on the data available on USACE page and tracked the last rain event.  Paddlers Gage #’s are by calculation only not actual observed gage reading.

Here’s a couple interesting links:

ran the Saint around 1:30 3″, and when we took off around 4:30, it was 2″

Seems the water was coming in from river right below cats paw, mud creek and turkey creek

I haven’t done it yet, but wouldn’t mind giving it a shot with the sufficient support crew.

Little Saint and Saline Creek are both over 1000 CFS.  Pretty sure the Castor will be running now.

I knew that someone would probably have more information than I did.

For reference, during our government “shutdown” in 2014, I emailed USGS trying to determine why they took “our” gage offline.  I had contact with USGS.

At the time, it was explained that National Park Service paid the $14,600 annual operating cost (seems high, but…Read more
