Hey I tried to send a PM to you (Martha) and its still in my outbox! Anyway I am unable to get out of Charlottesville until 930 and that puts me at the putin around 10:45, wondering if that is possible to still make the trip. I will be by myself and paddling a packraft! thanks
Jim

[martha james]

Come on Jim. We should be getting back from running the shuttle about that time so you'll be able to catch us.

[swimmus]

Great see you then!

[Alicia]

Ken & I will be there - time to get out the Grumman!
Thanks, Martha.

I hope folks will stay for what sounds like a great (& free!) meal, followed by what will be an interesting video & short presentation on efforts to clean up the Maury River.
