Looking fwd to this trip/event. Does anyone know if we're to get our own passes, & for what time? If not, I'll wait to hear from Wade next week.
In the meantime, I hope others are planning to go. The club burgers & paddlers' side dishes were delish last year!

I'll be there camping but not paddling. I'll also be at the meeting.
Is there a Coastals cookout/potluck dinner?
I would encourage families to attend this trip! I'll be bringing my two kids ages 8 & 11 and will be camping/hiking in the area. Paddling with kids is awesome, but if you don't, let me know and we can meet up to have some outdoor fun with the kiddos.

Looking forward to running the LY with some folks and with Wade on Saturday. Maybe hitting the UY on Sunday.

Alicia,
I had emailed Wade earlier, and he said for each person to get their own passes. He suggested a 10 AM pass.
I actually have one extra for 10 if you want it.

Kevin,
There is a cookout Saturday with burgers and hotdogs provided to dues paying members. Everyone should bring a side dish.

Thanks, Raymond. Sold! (Both Sat & Sun @ 10)
And yes, the cookout with members’ side dishes is delish after a fun day on the river!
BTW, a friend called the campground to make a reservation & was told it wasn’t necessary. Just tell them you’re with the Kessmann group. It’s near the LOWER pavilion, not the upper one of last year.
Looking fwd to it!

Give me a call at 804 347-8815
I may be running a raft which may have a seat or I can bring my paddlecat (shredder) for you to use. One way or another I think we can get you on the river.

Gunny Milligan and his son Nathaniel are the folks I was bringing. Should we get our own river/shuttle tix?
