OCT - Sat. 8/5/23 "Likely Balcony"

Post by Alicia »

This week's forecast has a few chances of T-storms but doesn't look too promising for anything Maury-ish. So unless the rain gods smile upon us, let's plan on running Balcony Falls Saturday. Meet noon @ Glasgow P/I to then run shuttle. It's summertime low but not too bad. And it won't be as dreadfully hot as this past week.

All are welcome - please post or let me know to look out for you, especially in case plans would change. Thanks!

Welcome to all, especially new members Jim & Rachel!

Jim,
please see here for various access directions (at the top of the Want to Paddle page):
http://www.coastals.org/forum/viewtopic ... b0e443221b

Here specifically is Balcony Falls put-in at Glasgow:

James River: Balcony Falls -

another Google map https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewe ... 3553712842

This is called Locher Landing & I believe there is a sign at the turn off #130 at an intersection w/ a gas station. There is a porta-john at the P/I.

Let me know if you need more info.

Bring a snack as we'll take a break. Likely 2.5-3 hrs on the water. Weather looks good!

I need to back out. Timing/scheduling conflict.

Sorry - will miss everybody.
