OCT Upper & Lower James Thru Richmond 1/16/10

Mango · Post by **Mango** » Mon Jan 11, 2010 9:16 pm

We will be meeting at 9:30 at the 14th Street Takeout and arranging shuttle to be at Reedy Creek at 10:00 and then to Pony Pasture to put in.

Please let me know what section you are interested in paddling, whether it be the Upper (Class II+), Lower (Class III) or both. So we can make
sure we have enough shuttle vehicles.

River level is expected to be around 5 feet and the weather should be partly cloudy, upper 30's to lower 40's. Please dress appropriately.

Ronnie Tucker and I are coming together and plan to do the Upper Only. We will meet at Reedy Creek parking lot at 10 AM. We will need shuttle for two boats to Pony Pasture put-in. ---Dennis Barnes

Planning to be at Reedy at noon, ready to paddle (as opposed to merely meeting there at noon).

Maiden voyage for my new Green Boat which is, um, red.

I will be at 14th Street at 11:30 for shuttle to Reedy. This should give us time to meet the "Upper" group at noon

My rump feels fully recovered now (if you don't know don't ask) and I'll be at 14th at 11:30 to shuttle up for the lower run.

Now aiming to be at 14th street at 11:30 ready to run shuttle so as not to weasel out of running shuttle.

P.S.: I think I did a good job of not asking about Paddle Daddy's rump. (Not sure I want to know.)

This thought just in, ... , the Wintergreen Adaptive Paddling program's Jackson Dynamic Duo K-2 is sitting on my boat rack. (Google it -- it's WAY cool.)

Any interest for Saturday on the lower? (You'll need to sign a waiver, if you haven't already, you know, official stuff and all that good rot.)

That could spice up a 5ft run. I wish I could make it out Saturday

'cause I'd like to fire it up in the DD. Hope y'all have a great time!
