I won't say no to beer but everyone has to get towed from time to time.

[KellyM]

Thanks to James for towing my boat, full of water to the gunwhales, from the butcher's block to river left just below the whirlpools. I owe you a beer. And thx to Robert for towing me.

  Thanks Paul, (for your enthusiasm, and helping hand at Coliseum). And of course, as always, to Bill S. For a great day on this, or any river. Amazing World Class River, great company, Bald Eagles, Osprey, get together and food. Need I say more?  I'm already thinking, and looking forward to Gat.Fest next weekend! J.L.

I got tangled up with Tibor (who was following me very, very closely...) on Coliseum Rapid, got surfed in a hole, spun, almost recovered, got flipped, rolled back up (Tibor rolled up too). Priceless!

Tibor's son Tomas, decided he would go and check out that little pourover hole in Coliseum rapids, that everyone else were trying very, very, very, very hard to avoid, with predictable resluts...LOL

James slid into Farmers Blacks, right side hole by accident with also very predictable results..LOL

Kelly had a rare no injury swim at Butchers Knife, Phew!

At the end we followed up with delicious food at the former Broken Paddle, now renamed Country Kitchen. Wow, the menu has improved!

Bill, Christian, Robert, Larry (sporting a brand new PFD), his son Justin (sporting a brand new helmet) and Canoe John (who styled most rapids, almost...) were there too and had lots of fun!

Great day on the river!

Hey Paul, perhaps you can come pick me up at 8:30, to give us some slack? Then we could go to Eagleson Park'n'ride... --C.

[KellyM]

Phew!!!

Back on track. THIS GROUP IS MEETING AT RIVERRUN FRONT GATE AT 10:30 AM. See you all there.

Kelly

[ChristianG]

Ok, I'll be waiting for you!

[windowshade]

Okay, sorry the mixup, it was me. I assumed it was a Eagleston meeting like usual. Soooo.. Christian, I'll pick you up at 9am so we can make it at RR for 10:30am.

Hi Kelly,

10:30 at the River Run Gate sounds like a plan, Paul mentioned he was interested as well.

Bill

I'm in, Tibor too. Eagleston Park and Ride at 10:30am.

Something is out of whack there; Beam me up river Scottie 

Yeah...Dave is right-some confusion there. I'm planning a daring escape from the cubicle; will run some errands and likely head up to the river to rock Pushbutton. I will likely stay over there and would like to join the party on Sat at River Run. Is it still 10:30??

PS Thunderstorm right now, not sure anyone will be at Champlain...

[james w]

I'm looking to get out and shake off my demons. Riverun sounds good.

[ChristianG]

Whitewater withdrawal... Argh... I'd be in too! Maybe Sara can't go however, since she has frisbee playoff. I would have to bum a ride then from a nice soul... I pay gas/food/coffee/whatever of course.

Is anyone going to Bate Island/Whispers tonight?
