SUMMARY:D.A.S.A. Wednesday night paddle
DESCRIPTION:September 10 5:00-7:30\n\nMembers of our club can volunteer to assist the Disabled Athletes Sports Association by supporting their kayakers during their Wednesday evening Bikes and Boats program at Creve Coeur Lake. Volunteers paddle alongside their kayakers and encourage them as well as give suggestions for paddling. Some have never paddled before\, while others have some experience. Although we do not act as instructors\, we do keep a close eye on them. It is a lot of fun and so rewarding. All members are welcome to come help out. (This is not a club sponsored event).\n\n  \nThis is the last DASA paddle of the year. If you can help\, we meet at the Sailboat Cove at Creve Coeur Lake at 5:00\, or as soon thereafter you can get there. Please let Debbie Dyle know you are coming. \ndylemedebbie@gmail.com

SUMMARY:North Fork of the White 2-day paddle
DESCRIPTION:September 27@ 8:00 am – September 28@ 5:00 pm    Free – $11.50 \nTwo\, day paddles with campground camping in-between.  On Sept 27 we will paddle from North Fork Campground to Blair Bridge (10 miles; mile marker 29.2 to 39.4).  On September 28th we’ll paddle from Hebron to Twin Bridges (6 miles; mile marker 18.7 -to 24.1). \nSaturday AM:  Meet at 8:00 at North Fork Campground to shuttle and paddle. \nSunday AM: Meet at 9:00 at Twin Bridges to shuttle and paddle. \n  \nThere are 2 camping options: \n\nNorth Fork Campground. This campground has water and vault toilets and Mark Twain National Forest : Recreation Site – North Fork Recreation Area\nTwin Bridges. This campground has showers and cabins.Twin Bridges West Plains\n\nThis trip is for beginner to intermediate skill levels and appropriate for all plastic kayaks less than 16 feet long and all canoes.   \nNorth Fork is a class I difficulty but can also have some class II sections\, depending on water level. Class II is defined as\, “Moderate difficulty with low consequences. Moving water with identifiable rapids and regular waves; clear passages exist between rocks and hazards. Minimal gradient loss. Some maneuvering is required.” \nDescription of the North Fork: \nThe spring-fed North Fork of the White River is a near-perpetual stream offering abundant opportunities for canoeing\, kayaking and slow rafting on flatwater with occasional Class I  riffles that is very well suited for just about any paddler regardless of experience. The river courses through Mark Twain National Forest in extreme southcentral Missouri\, approaching the Arkansas State Line as it flows into Norfork Lake just above its confluence with the mainstream of the White River southeast of Bull Shoals Lake. \nThe area is very scenic\, and the lower 25 miles are very popular with canoeists and kayakers in spring and summer months. Cool\, clear waters and excellent shade from the sun make the North Fork a very enjoyable place for family outings\, and the nearly 50 miles of river that normally can be paddled without having to dodge dead-fallen tree debris offers opportunities for multi-day trips for those wanting more than just a few hours on the water. \n—————————————————————————————————————————————– \nPlease check out the Club Sanctioned Trips forum for additional information as it is posted\, or to ask questions or post comments.  Club Sanctioned Trip Info & Comments – St. Louis Canoe & Kayak Club \nTip leader: Dave Haessig dghaessig@yahoo.com  314-304-7970. \nTo attend this trip/event: \n\nYou must reserve ticket for each person attending (see tickets below).\nThis provides the trip coordinator with important information for safety and communication and gives the club important information we need for reporting to ACA within 30 days of the event.\n You must fill out this waiver if you are not an ACA member (including minors without an ACA membership):  https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/e/FsaS2rycbPA6PkQUL6me47/\n\nIf you are an ACA member and have either an ACA annual waiver or SLCKC annual waiver filled out\, you do not need to sign a waiver for this trip. \nIf you are an ACA member but have not yet signed an annual waiver\, or you believe it may expire soon\, fill out this waiver: (It is visible to our club admin AND acts as an ACA annual waiver.)  https://waiver.smartwaiver.com/e/VSyMLYT6M3s3w4jDmWBhwN/
