Hi Paul, can you confirm if you want the meeting point to be the WT Takeout near the river? The one labeled WT Parking Lot on the map?

Hi Dominique,
I'm glad you noticed that!
You can see above that I've changed the instructions and map to indicate that, Yes, we are meeting at the Wilderness Tours WT Paddlers Takeout. On the map, I provided above, it's marked as an un-named road but it is the first road on the right when you drive past River Run.
Hope this helps,
Please let me know of any issues.
Cheers,
Paul

We are out. Adam fell off his bike coming back from work, nothing serious but we'll stay close to home.

I unfortunately need to back out. I have not recovered enough from a 2 day gut problem.
Very disappointed.
Bruce.

Have to cancel. Enjoy your paddle everyone.

Going to hold out for lower water and better weather- some rapids looks above my pay grade!

Hope they didn't wait too long for you at the take out, the meeting time was at 10 am...

That was a bad decision.
While it rained most of the day, we were dressed accordingly either in drysuits or another combination.
At the today's level of 16, alot of easier channels open up - Class II/III such as Zoom flume, Magical Mystery tour and Voyageur. Some people took these channels and all the cases you would have had someone to the share the experience.
It was relatively quick day on the river, and everybody a good day ....
