I'll be in the green Sylvan GO pop-up camper. Hopefully close to an electric outlet in the field.

Wick should have some tales to tell - from the whitewater canoe competitions at the World Championships of 1965, 1967, and 1971, the 1972 Summer Olympics to the Tsangpo expedition.

Come on out today and this evening!
Only 50% chance of 0.1" rain in Buena Vista today, diminishing in the evening. (disclaimer, there could always be a pop up T-storm, but surely paddlers wouldn't let a little wet stuff slow them down!).
Hope to see a nice crowd for the potluck. I'm excited to hear Wick's program!
