Not so much cratered as I would have driven up on my own for two days of paddling but for only one day is just not worth it.
Hopefully you all have a good run

Re: NB Potomac Release this weekend, 8/22-23.
Ken,
I appreciate the thought and the invite but nearly certain I will pass since just too much driving for 8 miles or so of river even though it is a fun low stress run.
Good luck and thanks again.

Re: North Branch Potomac Release Aug. 22-23
Judge, Did you see other thread? Ken is running a small group Sat and maybe Sun. I assume you know him. He seemed fine with "my group" joining which is you and I. If a few paddling Sunday as well then I plan to come up and looks like alone from here which is fine with me. Can play music I ...

Re: NB Potomac Release this weekend, 8/22-23.
Ken, I may well be as my group is 1-2 and one of them is Judge who posted on the other thread for this release. If people paddling both days I may well come up. Long drive for me (over 4.5 hours) so prefer to do both days and I would also be coming up on Sat AM. Please post or PM, etc. as you get de...

Judge, Others down here all made other plans as they figured by now that no one else was going to post, etc If you know others who would go, etc please let me know but just two of us is not really critical mass Kind of disappointing how little people post these days for trips (I assume people are pa...

Re: North Branch Potomac Release Aug. 22-23
Judge,
Awesome.
Let me get back with you a little later today and see what our count is. Might be 3 of us from here. Maybe 4.
I keep thinking others will be up there but no one seems to be posting.

2-3 of us interested. Also watching trips/levels out in Western part of state and even WV.
Will definitely let you know Friday.
Probably been 10 years since I paddled the App.

Re: OCT: Saturday May 30th -- Goshen with a chance of Bullpasture
Bullpasture would be great.
Also, Maury from below Corner Rapid (put in at Indian ??) on down would be welcome as well.
Anything Class 2 - 3+ (or even low 4) would be welcome.
Please post and will post if I hear anything as well.

Re: Memorial Monday
Same here. Was hoping someone would post a good Class 2-3+ trip.
Been trying to get WV paddlers to hook up as well but no luck so far. Rivers have been dry for weeks. Figured people would be heading to the rivers.
Looks like more rain coming.
I am free all week and next weekend as well.

Re: Spring Gathering April 18
Better get working on your best rain dances as no rain forecast for next ten days and almost nothing runnable in VA now.
Cannot remember a worse April.
Heading to N. Branch release on April 18/19 as may be only Class 2-3 water anywhere
