I am new to the club. I see this is probably at least two nights camping to enable the two days paddling. Do the group members typically camp in the same ring of the same campground, or is it more of everybody just do your own thing situation? I see the logical Forest Service campground is first-come, first-serve. Anybody have a sense how full this smaller (19 sites I think) campground would be for an end of September weekend? Thanks!

[David Haessig]

There are 2 choices to camp. There is camping at North Fork Campground of the. Mark Twain National Forest. It is a rustic Campground without showers. But it has beautiful spread put campsites. There is also Twin Bridges that has tent camping, RV Camping and cabins. So people who don’t like rustic Camping can go.

Dave, could you please post what campground you will be at so that Michael will have someone from the club at the campground he is at.

[Carolyn Knarr]

Just a reminder, especially for newer members, this is a CLUB SANCTIONED (ACA) trip.
You MUST get a ticket and sign a waiver to attend.

If I am able to go (still unclear), I would stay at the North Fork Campground and try to get there early enough on Friday to secure a campsite. It is a long way to transport a kayak on the roof of my small SUV, but I think I worked all the kinks out driving down I-44 to Bourbon last week. The truck traffic there, even on a Sunday morning, was impressive!

[David Haessig]

I have been at the campground on holiday weekends and it did not fill up. I think there is no need to be worried about getting a site.

[Scott Thierheimer]

I intend to go on this trip, I don’t think I’ve been on the North Fork. 🙋

[Briana Conley]

Heidi and I will be there!!

[Carolyn Knarr]

Everyone please get tickets!

[Scott Thierheimer]

I got my ticket, will be able to go down Fri afternoon. I’ve got room for 1 more boat and carpool if interested.
I’d like to share a campsite also, thanks Scott

[Mohammed Aziz]

Excited to see familiar faces and friends will be attending. My son and I will attend as well. Thanks Dave and Carolyn. I will register us both now, I’m an ACA member with family membership.

[Carolyn Knarr]

I will be staying at the North Fork Campground. It is first come, first serve. Will probably arrive Friday mid-afternoon.

[Michael Mahoney]

I am able to attend, and will likely leave home early on Friday to try and secure a site at the North Fork Campground. If I do get one, I would be happy to share the site with anyone who arrives later and needs one.

[Mohammed Aziz]

Scott or Michael, my son and I may take you up on sharing that campsite if none is available, since it is first come first serve. Thank you!

[Kathleen Pszonka]

Looks like some rain during the week to boost up low water levels . Kathy

[Michael Mahoney]

I am no longer able to attend. My spouse has been having some health issues that have recently worsened. I can’t be that far away and potentially out of touch. Sorry.

[Carolyn Knarr]

Sorry you can’t join us, Michael.

[Dennis Pierce]

Dave, I am strongly considering going on this trip, possibly with my son John. Question: what is the distance and approximate time on river for Saturday and Sunday? I ask because my son became fatigued on a Current River trip with the club in June and we had to pull out a little early (although he did Akers Ferry to Pulltite with the Scouts yesterday with no problem).

[Carolyn Knarr]

Dennis…it’s on the event page. “On Sept 27 we will paddle from North Fork Campground to Blair Bridge (10 miles). On September 28th we’ll paddle from Hebron to Twin Bridges (6 miles).”

[David Haessig]

We are doing 10 miles Saturday and there will be a good current with the projected rain and gradient of the river. Sunday is much shorter and again there will be a good flow and nice gradient.

[Dennis Pierce]

Thanks Dave and Carolyn for the information and your efforts. I plan to join you all for this trip (just me), with plans to arrive Friday afternoon and stay at the North Fork Campground. With appreciation, Dennis Pierce

[Mohammed Aziz]

Excited to have you and son join Dennis! My son and I will be there as well, same campground.

[Carolyn Knarr]

Aziz, Dennis is not bringing John.

The recent rain has brought the river up a little but no where near a dangerous level. The weather is looking great.

[John Meyer]

I am going too! I thought that I had registered for the trip, but I’m not on Carolyn’s list! So I just registered.
Thanks for posting the list Carolyn.

[Carolyn Knarr]

Thanks, John. I just got you ticket.

[Kathleen Pszonka]

Weather and water levels look great. Looking forward to it . Kathy

[David Haessig]

Weather and flow look great. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
