Good day on the Bonniebrook! Ten of us, so fairly large showing. Strange river, doing kayak limbo to pass under bridges...

Achigan tomorrow! --C.

Hi All,

I should be able to make it, and I will be game for camping out that way and scouting some other rivers, etc in the evening.

It's not that far... But camping/motel Friday night is certainly an option! No problem for me.

On that note, if anyone will be at Champlain on Friday, let me know.

Also, just spoke to Mark Pilon, warned him that pretty much all the rivers running right now are above his current skill level. So unless we end up on an easier river somehow, he said not to worry about him.
