OCT Balcony

Let us know how it went! Swim confessions and carnage reports are welcome, but it's not fair to tell on your buddies!

Nice job Raven. :D
How about posting it on the Facebook Page.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW What a ride! . . . . . Trying to live up to this, Priceless. As long as you have good insurance!

Thanks everyone!

Also Wade, I don't have a Facebook account. So I'm not sure if anyone else can share it there.

Hey Jay,

Music is by; Foster the People - Coming of Age

Sunday I did the Upper James in Richmond before driving the rest of the way home. It just happened I was going to be passing by same time a buddy had a run planned.

Nice meeting you as well! Hope to paddle out your way again soon, now that your gear and boats are back in action maybe we'll paddle again soon!

We had a great day on Balcony on Saturday - 28 paddlers - what a great group, and fun water level. Even got to check out two left side entrance rapids on the Maury. Thanks to Raymond for coordinating the trip and Raven for this nice surprise! (I posted to facebook).

Had some great food at the Quarterly gathering at Jellystone Park that nite. Thanks to Jon Dzielak for some great insights, tips and benefits of coordinating trips on the river - takeaway message - it's easy and fun to coordinate a trip!

Raven,

Thanks for posting the video; I enjoyed it. We had a great group on Saturday; the weather and water levels were ideal for paddling. Another fun spring gathering trip.
