O.C.T. June 3 and 4 North Branch Potomac Barnum to Bloom

Post by Andy_D »

This is a great ?step up? run for folks who want to get some experience on fast moving water. (Class 2-3 low intermediate) There are play spots all over the river so it?s also great place to drag you more experienced girlfriend, boyfriend, friend, spouse, mother, father, sister, brother or other significant other on to help you improve your skills and not bore them to death.
We will meet at 10:30 Saturday morning at the Bloomington take out off MD route 135. May shoot for two runs or just head back to camp after one and sit around the fire and tell lies about past paddling exploits. Sunday?s time will be open to discussion Saturday.
Contact us at asyrgid@aol.com to confirm you are coming or to get more information.

Andy and Mary Digrys

I agree with Andy's assessment. It's a great place to improve your skills. I'm sorry that I can't make it, but I'll be with you in spirit

Just leave your tent door open at night.
I used to be a paddler, now I just play one on the Innaweb.
