Yough/Savage July 4th

Post by open boater »

For anyone not going to the CCC WOR, I will be heading to Tall Oaks CG on Thursday July 3, paddling the lower Yough 7-4 and 7-5 then heading over to the Savage for Sunday the 6th release. I have 2 campsites reserved and would be more than happy to reserve launch permits for anyone interested in joining me. I am also under the impression that the upper Yough will be releasing as well for those skilled enough to run it.

I am looking to get in on this one as well, or at least the LY on Fri and Savage on Sun. I've run the LY with you a few times, but this will be a PFD for me on the Savage. Should I grab a permit for Fri morning or will you?

Thanks,

Greg

Pat, Laura and I plan to join for Friday and Saturday nights! We have 2 passes for the LY both days... Do you have extras or should we get a third pass?
