Hey Marty, I was not wanting the link posted for the trip. I was wanting a link posted on the link tab of the main website. This is not just for this trip. It has waypoints for every trip we take. Lots of members already have it on their phones already. Just want to make it much easier for people to find.

Jim, I just checked the registration page and it had multiple links to maps of the area. Since you didn't officially register for the trip you didn't have access to this information.

Jim, all information is submitted by the trip leader. Where I am familiar enough with the area I will add directions and post a link for maps. If I am not knowledgeable of the area I'm not comfortable in posting that information based on my limited knowledge.

I just posted the directions to load the STL Kayak Club maps onto your phone in the general discussion. It is the easiest way to get to the right spot for Rymers.

Hey Marty, anyway my directions can be placed on the website under the links so it is always easy to access?

Everything is dependent on today's rain. I think we will have a good flow. Sunday we will reevaluate the flow and decide if we go all the way to Alley Springs.

The goal is to camp at Rhymers both night, but that is dependent on flow. Today's rain will hopefully bring the flow up to a level to run the Prongs.i If that happens we can camp at Rhymers Saturday.

Dave, Did you mean Rhymers to Alley on Sunday? Assuming you did, that would mean we will paddle 16 miles Saturday and 15 miles Sunday.. I assume that if water levels are lower we put in somewhere further downstream on Saturday. Based upon this I plan on loading my tent etc in my boat in case we stop short of Rhymers on Saturday or go past it.

I have decided to stay in a motel in Winona Friday night. I hate starting a trip with a wet tent. I will plan to be at Rhymers by 8:30. I will configure my rack system for two kayaks in case capacity is needed for shuttle.

Looks like it will be cold enough to justify bringing my wet suit. I have yet to get my money's worth on that purchase..

I hope to. It will depend on ricer levels. The prediction is for rain which should make it possible to run from Prongs to Rymers on Saturday and Rhymers to Alley on Saturday, but it will depend on the rain

I went to cancel your reservation only to find out you never signed up for the trip.

If you are going to Rymers campground: Google maps will take you to the wrong side of the river. Access is Hwy 60 to hwy M which becomes a gravel road. There was a sign at the intersection on Hwy 60 and M last year. GPS coordinate is about where the paved road becomes gravel/dirt.

************************
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
***********************
DO NOT FOLLOW GOOGLE MAPS, It will take you to the wrong side of the river! Enter N37 02.626 W91 33.341 into Google Maps and once you get to that point the road is not on the map, so just keep following the road to the campground.

I will try to get the directions on how to load the Google Maps I made for the Club that has the waypoints posted again tonight. That makes it so much easier
