Usually 3-4 of us come up from Se VA on one of the May release weekends to join in what seems to be a regular annual trip.
This year the releases seem early with
April 4-5
April 18-19
May 2-3
and May 16-17

Hi Don,
Not sure we will make it there this year.
Terri, our wonderful cruise chair, is always looking for new trip coordinators. You would certainly be a good one on this stretch that you know so well! How 'bout coordinating a trip on NBP? It's not hard to coordinate, she can answer any questions you might have, & you end up getting your trip & meeting new fellow paddlers!
Her deadline for the newsletter is today! (she might have a tiny bit of wiggle room)
Contact her:
tbsullak@yahoo.com or 540-460-3473
Please and thanks!

Hiya Don.
Dunno that I'll be in a position to schedule a North Branch Potomac trip this year. Conflicting adventures are a good problem to have.
Yes, the releases are early this year. I haven't studied the official dates but they've been consistent for a couple of decades. It's all about when Memorial Day occurs. This year it's as early as it gets. In addition to your list I think there is a release scheduled for March 21 and22.
Cheers,
Ken Dubel
