Anyone organizing class II for Saturday for those of us that can't or don't want to do big water? I don't know any of the water in that area.

Failing that, is anyone rafting that has room for one more?

I'd like to come too if we have some Class II boaters and raft support for the Lower. I had a blast on all the rivers I did in that area, but it's been too long! Terri

I plan on taking a raft down the Lower on Saturday (maybe Sunday also).
Room for 3/4 people and me. Let me know if you are interested.
I will start a new thread for the paddle itself later as I am the coordinator.

Happy daze,
Wade (Mango)

Just a reminder that I'll be bringing the burgers and dogs and charcoal to cook said meats that I was supposed to bring for the spring meeting but didn't because my bus broke down. I've got burgers, dogs, and buns. If you want cheese, condiments, toppings, etc. please bring them.

Thanks, Jon! Lee and I will bring the trailer stuff - plates, plastic utensils, napkins, serving utensils. Reminder to all - please bring a side dish or dessert.
