Anybody knows if the camping fees (20$/person) include takeout for both days? The website is not clear... And since takeout is now 10$/person... I'm doubtful.

Sorry I meant to get back to you on that but have not had a chance to figure it out.

I just called river run, and was told that it is $20 a night and that includes the takeout fee. So there is no extra charge.

Hi all

Planning to camp Friday and Saturday night. Hope to see some of you there on Friday night so I get to the right location.

Looking forward to paddling with all of you.

anywhere in the upper field should be fine. we usually try and get a spot near a fire pit, so we can have a fire.

What time does the group usually paddle on Sunday morning?

Is someone driving up on Sunday morning? My son Ryan might need a ride there if he decides to go.


Thanks,
Bruce.

Normally on these weekend events ... the paddling contingent is larger on the first day. As for the second day ... the paddling  starts whenever someone makes a decision on the time and others follow (or don't).

I'm dealing with the tail end of a cold, so I'm going to get a good night's sleep at home, and come up tomorrow and stay till Sunday. 

Figure that'll solve the cold better than staying up drinking beer around a campfire till late.

Saturday  --- 28 and sunny with 0% chance of precip for an evening of camping
which is good day to be on the river

Level hovering around 12-13 ... hmm Angel Kiss is the place to be on the Middle Channel
