Club Meeting and Camping is at Benners Campground. For more info see: http://www.coastals.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11686
After a delicious pancake breakfast, cooked by the officers of the club (please use this opportunity to tell the officers what you would like to see from the club),
we will plan on loading boats for shuttle, leaving by 9:30. Don’t forget to have some money for shuttle tokens (to be bought at the Put In in Ohiopyle). I believe they are $4.00 each.
For Saturday, I have procured 28 hard boat passes for the 10:00.
This will be a “First Timer” Friendly Trip. Please let me know if you are a First Timer or someone that just needs a little extra help, and we will put you together with the appropriate experienced paddler.
If not everyone in your family is a paddler (a really odd thought, but it happens), but would like to get on the river. There are several outfitters that will rent rafts, guided rafts, shredders and duckies.
If there is any interest in a Middle Yough Trip (Class 2) let me know and I will try and find a Coordinator for that. http://www.americanwhitewater.org/conte ... l/id/1686/
If you plan to boat on Sunday, you should purchase your own river passes from the park. There is a shorter loop run for those who want to get on the road early. You may call 724-329-8591 or buy online at http://www.dcnr.state.pa.us/stateparks/ ... /index.htm
We will be paddling on Sunday, but it tends to be a bit looser because people want to get on the road. That will be coordinated as the time approaches and we can reserve launch times as needed.
Please chime in and we will see what consensus (if any) develops.

Coastals trips are intended primarily for club members; however, visitors are invited to check us out! Paddling can be quite dangerous. All trip participants assume full responsibility for their own safety. The coordinator only organizes the trip. Paddlers must rate their own ability for these trips. Difficulty ratings are intended as a rough guide and are subject to error. You are expected to research an unfamiliar river yourself. Please don't just "show up." Please don't bring unexpected guests. Please don't endanger yourself and the group by paddling a trip for which you are not prepared. This list also includes activities not coordinated by Coastals that may be of interest to the paddling community.
