Meeting Sunday 8/30 at the gravel lot takeout.

AS OF THURSDAY NIGHT - NO TAKERS FOR SATURDAY, WHAT ABOUT AN EARLY SUNDAY RUN?

Meeting at the PUT-IN at 11:30 A.M. and will set shuttle from there. Email, PM, or Call if interested. 434-84seven-46seven6

From AW Web page:
With a huge watershed providing year round boatable levels this is THE run for beginner and intermediate paddlers in VA. While people come from all over to paddle this run, during the week you could have the river to yourself. On the weekends it can get pretty crowded, but when the level is good (over 4') or after the weather turns cold most of the recreational canoers and fisherman clear out. All in all, this very fun run is mostly class 2 with an easy class three at Balcony Falls. It is a great run for instructing beginners and has enough play (at levels over 4 feet) to keep intermediate paddlers interested as well.

How about meeting at the take out (gravel parking lot) at 10am?
I know of one, maybe two others that may join in.
