Welcome to join the fun. Stouts, Saint or Lusk Creek in Southern Illinois as a backup plan.

Gary took me under his wing when I was newer to boating, and we’ve shared a lot of fun memories. My friend (who was also friends and a colleague of Gary), is the Carbondale building inspector and was on scene a little after accident. I can provide further details if and when the time is right.

Definitely want to paddle with you guys. As for Sunday, I’m thinking about a couple laps on the upper and maybe checking out the cascades- given the fact there’s more opportunities to paddle the Ocoee versus upper Nanty runs.

Finally have recovered enough from my ankle surgery to attempt boating. I would be shocked if it’s not well above 0″. As Tracy said a visual would be nice. I can boat from 10-3

Please keep an eye out for it, especially with the river rising again. It’s a black lighting paddle, green tape, with yellow flames and Jackson logo on blades. Has my phone number on it. Case of beer, at the minimum, for a safe return!

You’ll have to find a site in the upper campground Friday night. My guess is you won’t have to much trouble getting one. Best option is to have a friend, who is getting there earlier on Friday, reserve one for you.

They will be large but doubt any waterfalls will be ran. Stouts was great today. Thanks for the introduction Chuck.
