Looks like a good, fun, experienced group, launch time is 10am.
If you're not on this list but would like to join up, there were plenty of permits still available for 9am-10am-11am as of yesterday noon.

I purchased a 10 a.m. pass for Sunday, and I plan to boat with the group.

For any new boaters; if you get a 9 a.m. pass, you can put on at 9:55 and still join the 10 a.m. group.

Oh, I see how it is! Your going to post pictures of you paddling solo without Max K,

Well how'd that work out for you "mr oar rigger man"!

Maybe next time you'll take your old buddy Max K to show you the lines!

We got you covered Jon! That brings us up to 26 with 8 PFD in the mix!

It's great to have a fellow Mechanicsvillian along for the ride.

Good grief man, tell them to reschedule! People get married every day. The Summer Gathering 2011 only happens once.

Sorry you won't be there.

Is there still a spot for me on this trip? Please sign me up if there is. It will be a PFD for me.

Got you covered AirborneBuff, glad to have you along.

I've had some inquiries about the trip, so below is part of an e-mail I have
sent out. Just FYI, but if you have any questions or concerns for this trip,
don't hesitate to give me a call or e-mail.

In July, the air will be hot and the water will still be chilly. If you get cold easy, a lot of people still wear a shorty dry top or splash jacket. I generally don't get cold, so I only wear a rash guard. Your call. We will be on the water for at about 4 to 5 hours (depending on people playing and it's a large group), so take a lunch and plenty of water.

Shuttle Tokens are purchased at the Ranger Booth at the Put In, They are $4.00.
You'll have plenty of time to do so, and everyone else will be buying them also.
They are not the same thing as the Hard Boat Passes. I already have them for Saturday. If you want to paddle on Sunday, you have the choice of putting on before 8am or buying a Hard Boat Pass($5) (best in advance, online) and another shuttle pass the day you need it (not in advance, they are color coded)

Make online reservations or call toll-free 888-PA-PARKS (888-727-2757),
7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Saturday, for state park information and reservations, or e-mail us your postal address for an information packet.
The info you will need to know to make the reservation.
Ohiopyle State Park
Sunday July 17
10:00am Time Slot (there are 8 available right now, if they get sold, get a 9am pass, it's good up to 9:55, so that would work, you just might have to wait a little while for the rest of the group) Hard Boat Pass ($5.00) Credit Card

Call Benners Campground about camping, just tell them you are with Coastals Coastal group site (site #501 with site #502 being overflow). Group site camping is $10.75 a person a night. Nearby individual sites are also available.
Benners Meadow Run Campground
315 Nelson Road
Farmington, PA 15437-9507
(724) 329-4097
Fax (724) 329-8101

Give me a call if you have any questions. 804 347-8815.
Happy daze,

This sounds like a fun trip, is there an UY trip Sat, and who running what FRiday, can I get in on the Sunday trip LY?

Shaggy, here's the UY trip for Sat - would love to have you.

I don't know of any Friday paddling plans (I gotta work).

I think for Sunday you now need to call & get your own permit. Tom got a bunch for 10am.

JDzielak · Post by **JDzielak** » Thu Jun 23, 2011 2:56 pm

I just reserved two more hard boat passes for Sunday. There was only 1 left on the website for the 10:00 slot. FYI if you were sitting on the fence.
