It’s mostly a narrow stream, and may have low water in areas requiring dragging, hitting rocks, gravel bottom, strainers. Kathy

How "big" is the Big Piney? I'd like to go, but I also don't want to beat up my thermoformed kayak

We had a trip registration issue where Phil and Shelly cancelled to redo and add Wes. However, even though we cancelled the first Phil and Shelly (to register group instead), we now show as being registered twice and taking up slots.

I see the Big Piney trip is full. If you get cancellations I'd love to make this one. I'll check website periodically but if you could remember I am interested that'd be great. Thanks.

Thanks much. I'll be exploring these kinds of options with hopes to be able to extend my ability to paddle more than an hour....

We will be paddling 6 to 8 hours each day. For your numbness you might want to try a cushion. I found that the Jackson Sweet Cheek work well. It eliminated both numbness and sciatic pain. Other people have found cushions in front of seats supporting thighs help with numbness.

Dave--
Do you have a sense as to how long we'll be paddling on each day? I'm having a tough time avoiding numbness in my legs/feet after about an hour of paddling. As a new paddler, I'm experimenting with different approach to seat, position, etc, etc, but growing concerned I may not be able to be able to comfortably paddle for the likely durations of this planned trip. Any info would be helpful to know if I should continue w/ the plan to go or perhaps cancel and try an overnight another time when I'm more reliably able to paddle for longer durations. Thoughts?
