I’ll be driving in from Kansas City with my step daughter and plan on kayaking Friday-Monday. I had a blast paddling with everyone last year, and look forward to another great Memorial Day.

Hey JW, yep that was me you ran into in Oklahoma. While I was out there they had three pumps running, and according to the guy who was kayaking safety out there, at that level the holes are very sticky. While I was there only the competition channel was open, and it was very pushy. As a novice boater I definitely didn’t feel in control for the first run through. I recently made the southeast beginner trip, and this would rank up there in difficulty with the Middle Ocoee. Also the rapids are fairly continuous at the top of the run. I got rolled over once and ended up getting thrashed around until about 3 Rapids later when I was finally able to roll up. My bonus daughter thought I was going to die as evidenced by the look on her face when I finally did roll up. It really is nice though that you can run through it multiple times, by the end of the night I felt a lot more comfortable running it.

What would I need to do to fill the last available bunk if it’s still available?
