Coastals Summer Gathering OCT to be held on the Lower Yough

When leaving the Ocoee on Monday we noticed a burlap sack being tossed out of the back of a pick-up truck. In a blur too quick to pick up with the naked eye, Jackie had her paddle out of the window and caught the payload before it was torn to shreds on the highway. The sac was full of tiny water people destined to greatness. From here out we'll call them Future Fans of Jackie...

HaHa! I'm cracking up as I read about all the people and animals I have saved

By the time I get to the Yough my head will be so big from this talk, it will probably throw off my balance and then be an anchor when I try to roll up!

I know Jackie is too shy to tell you this herself but I was reading Mother Teresa's Autobiography
and she credits her calling to help the poor in Calcutta to Jackie and that Jackie was her role model.

This just goes to show how humble our rising star is.

And, why she needs an agent!

Don't miss the "Paddle with Jackie" at the Summer Gathering 2011 at the Yough on Saturday, 7/16!

Well, we're getting close.

Just 3 more days and we'll be on the road to the Summer Gathering at the Yough.

So I have decided to break with tradition and give everyone a hint, so they can find the "Super Secret Shortcut" to the Yough!

I know what your thinking, Mango, have you finally lost it, have you peeled out of your last minds eddy, how dare you tell everyone about
the "Super Secret Shortcut" to the Yough!

Well, its just time to get it out there, why should everyone have to drive that extra 5 minutes!

Attached is a photo hint for the "Super Secret Shortcut" to the Yough!

And the first person to text, e-mail or show me on their camera, a picture of them with the very same clue.......will win a fabulous prize
(as soon as I figure out what that prize is)!

Happy trails, see you at the Summer Gathering.

The "short cut" is the quickest route to the LY.....but, one word of caution......DO NOT speed through PawPaw!

I know several folks that have had discussions with local mountie! They mean 25 when they say 25.....they'll bust you for 30!

I am traveling from Lynchburg ... anyone interested in sharing a ride?
I plan on leaving on Friday (any reasonable time) and returning Sunday after the LY trip.

There now! glenzilla has given you another hint!

I'll bet MapQuest
and Google Maps are working overtime tonight.

And between the two
hints, be sure and check traffic on the other side before crossing the one lane bridge.

Not to interrupt the EXCELLENT thread that Mango has going... just wanted to interject here / remind everyone that we will be getting together on Saturday nite after paddling at the Pavillion. Pot luck dinner at 6:30 (or bring your food & maybe something to share?) and short meeting/announcements at 7:30, followed by campfires and friends. The Board Members' meeting is at 5 - all are welcome.

now back to that shortcut...don't ask me - my kids won't ever follow a shortcut that I suggest! (something about past experiences, or some such excuse!)

I'd like to paddle Sunday also; not sure what time others are going. Tried to figure out reserving a permit, but I was unsuccessful.
