Really would like to, but I can't this weekend. I am having people over for a bbq/fire tommorow.

I think I'll join you guys. Just one question, do you guys normally play and run the canyon a few times before heading out to do the rest, or are you running the whole thing in one shot? Reason I'm asking is that I would need to get out early. If you guys do the whole thing without really stopping for lunch of play or whatever that would be fine. If you guys intent to play a bit at the canyon then I think I'll just park my car at the put-in, play a bit and then leave from there when you guys decide to run the rest. Need to do some renos at by bro-in-law so I can't arrive too late in the afternoon. Thanks.

We'll be putting in at Aquaventure (like we did  a couple of weeks ago) and hike up to run the first canyon. There was talk also about trying to cut out the tree blocking the river so we could be a bit slow if you need to get back early.

Jim and I are bringing our smaller boats, the level is down to about 50 cms from almost 90 cms 2 weeks ago.

Thanks Bill. Finally, I've decided to skip paddling tomorrow, too much to do. Have a good day.
