Ya, I just got over to let him by and the road gave way on my side, sucking my car in with it.

Bill drives like my mother use to ... Never thought a slow moving vehicle could force you off the road.
 --- only to prove that you are safer in your boat.

Great day! aside from getting run off the road by bill (he didn't notice and just drove away ), almost rolling my car and having to get the local farmer with a tractor to pull me out.

Surprisingly no damage to the car, except for a few plastic fasteners missing on the front.

Such a cool river!

I will go to Bate island instead, with a sea kayak and a playboat, just in case...

Do we know the schedule? When/where to meet up with folks? I can text Daniel to find out. --C.

[rvg]

I'd be up for something Sunday too. Anybody else? --C.

I'm planning on going Sunday. Let's car pool or convoy. Want to meet in the core or at Eagleson?

Hey guys,
Is anyone heading up Sunday that's up to carpool? I'm looking for a ride. I'm game to run whatever.
Thanks, Chris.

Just an update.

I believe I will only be going for the one day, unless levels turn out to be fantastic.

I think I will be running the beaver, although there have been grumblings of the skootamata, which I have not run, and would be in for.

the day we'll be there is yet to be seen, going to wait til thursday to see what the consensus is.

[jonyak]

I have not even thought about it honestly.

I might just go for the day, and if I do that it will be for the beaver.

I will let you know my plans next week.

[Jeffrey J Templeton]

Jon, are you going to run the Salmon on the 18th and the Beaver on the 19th?

From Mackfest:

MACKFEST POSTPONED TO APRIL 17/18/19
I am truly sorry for those who cannot make it now but I fear the levels will still be below minimum by the 11/12th. This week's cold weather will slow things down, drop the levels a bit but next week's warm temperatures should be what we need to melt the remainder of the snow ( and there's quite a bit left ).

I'm pretty sceptical that things will be flowing for that weekend.
NOAA, is giving a very high probability that the temperatures for the area will be below average between April 7th-11th, and between the 9th and 15th are still below average:

I'd certainly like to attend if things are flowing, but I'm keeping my skis out and my snow shovel in the car for now.
