Glad you all had a good time! Sure beats working on a printed program for a conference...

Make sure you have more than one key for the vehicle you take out paddling.  Might be an idea to have more than one key with you too.  Vinko got to spend Sunday night at Palmer's too.

And just to think, someone thought to cancel the event because to the torrential rain in forecast.
A wonderful hot, humid, sunny weekend to spend with new and returning members.
The water level at 62 cms if anybody is keeping track.

Despite the fire ban, we circled up around the smoking pic that scared all the bugs away. Or maybe it was the stories or talk of sharing sausages. Oh yes, the beer still tasted the same. And then the cool lightning strike in the sky which proceeded about 30 minutes of rain late in the evening which broke up of the group.

And the things that make you go hmm ...
- if you take your car keys on the water make sure they are attached or placed in a closed pocket
- watching MKC chase after their wayward shuttle van.

The roads to the putin and takeout have been fixed and graded with gravel, and at the moment not sure by who or what company.

Bill Kirkland from the RA (other group that paddle the river at the same time)  said a pair of booties were left at the the take-out.  Contact me (or him) if they are yours.

And a huge thanks to John and everyone else who helped organize and who attended this weekend,  I had a great time.

Don't forget your bug gear - The bugs are getting pretty bad.
The black flies are just starting and the Mosquito's are in full zombie mode.

Come tonight.

I will be there. I don't want to be there alone :(

nothing more sad than me drinking beer alone in the dark in a campground 250 km from home. :P

Guess I won't be bringing any telescope, but I have a big canopy to put over picnic table. Still thinking about going tonight.
