No problem.  It is the long wkend and it is not good for me either.

Looking for some people to paddle the UMiss.  Proposing to meet at the Petro Canada in Sharbot Lake at 10 a.m.  There is no gauge for this river however, I have paddled it 4 times already this year and it is very high right now.  Anyone interested?

Hi Gweene, we won't be able to join you on the UMiss this Thursday unfortunately.    Another time perhaps, thank you for the invite! Cheers.

Wish I could join, I really want to do this river. Its only 20 minutes from my house.

Do you guys not work?

I take a day off here and there to do this stuff so I can spend some quality time with my family. You know, shopping, cleaning, lawn cutting, pool cleaning, laundry....you know, quality time. lol

It is doable in a play boat but river runners/creekers are better.  There are is one creeky section that there is no place to roll.  We will scout each section and safety first.  It is a fun river and really high last week.

Perfect thanks! I'll get back to you soon.

Next Thursday I have a dr's appt in the a.m.  I could meet you at noon instead of 10a.m.  Let me know if this would work for you.

Can I get back to you on Monday? I'll talk to my other paddling buddies to see if they would be interested, I know they were talking about doing the Middle but if we were to do the Upper with someone who knows the river that could change. I know I would be interested, I've always liked creeking more than big water anyways. Gimme a day or two.  Oh, just a question, a bud of mine only has a playboat (he is very experienced though)...is that section doable in a playboat?
