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!

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!
