      Looks like Fridays rain isn’t supposed to be excessive, so hoping the Meramec will be down to a good level by Sunday. Will still be up so thinking of doing a longer stretch since we have plenty of daylight. This is a 15 mile paddle. The plan would be to meet at the Meramec State Park boat ramp at 9:00 to combine boats and gear to shuttle up to the put in. Post here or text me at 314 nine71 Five198 if interested. Will be monitoring river level and will make a final decision on Saturday.

      I may come, I’ll see how my arm performs and if there’s any pain I’ll have to pass.

      That’s quite a distance for one day, but I’m thinking about it. I’m so out of shape!

        Carolyn, Dennis is never in hurry that is why I’m considering this.

      I’d like to go! I only have a 10′ kayak, so if anyone is open to letting me try out a longer boat, I’d appreciate it.

        I would think that a 10′ boat would be fine.

        Ok! I worry I’m going to be too slow.

      Since I have some people who may be concerned with doing 15 miles, we could as an alternative do Meramec State Park to Sand Ford. This would be about 7 miles. Let me know how you feel about this and if people want to do this instead, I will adjust the paddle. Will post final plans tomorrow afternoon.
