Hi, I know it's early, but anyone thinking about going to ALF? It starts on March 9th this year. Adam and I are thinking about it...

What is it?
And please do not say it has something to do with the old TV show ALF.

Well, it's a non-festival that started many years ago with some of the Ottawa open boaters. It's during the Ontario march break and it's in Tennessee. An opportunity to go paddle when our rivers here are still frozen. The rivers in Tennessee also have a different character than the rivers here. In the past few years, more and more kayakers have been going. A few club members have gone in the past including Adam and I. The RACCC normally has a good presence there as well as people from Montreal.

All you have to do is rent a hotel room in Lenoir City, TN, and make some friends to go on the river with.

I'm thinking I'd like to go. I will talk it over with Dan and Mark also.
