It was a great weekend and I'm glad I got to see those of you I knew again and meet those I didn't! I've really enjoyed my short time with the club and look forward to many more adventures with you all. It's been a very encouraging, safe, and positive place to practice my paddling skills and learn new tricks.

I have to agree Ed! It was a great group of people and everyone meshed so well. I wish I could go on the Big Piney but can't. :-( But looking forward to hopefully doing another trip on the North Fork in October. I will lead that but you can all be very sure I'll be super conscious of people having the appropriate gear for that time of year -- concentrating on the probability as in preparing for immersion. I am really looking forward to having more multi-sport weekends where people can paddle, bike, hike or just enjoy the great outdoors.

Such a great weekend despite the rain. You all rock! I felt so safe and learned so much.

Eileen,
Thanks are due to you Dave, and Briana for shepherding the group for a fun paddle on Saturday. The storms added to the sense of adventure and encouraged camaraderie! I captured some nice action shots, especially paddlers riding the wave trains.

Great trip despite the rain and not paddling Sunday (due to that rain).

So good to see everyone again. I think it's been 3 years since I've been on the North Fork and two years since I've been on a Club overnight trip and in my Liquid Logic XP9.

Maybe we can do it again in October!

Paddling in the rain can be fun as long as you are not cold. Lots of waterfalls and drippy cliffs - great photo ops

I used Frog Togs for years -- still have them and all patched inside with duct tape! They make a great pillow if you don't need them for rain.

Thanks, that makes me feel like I am not going to be the newbie. I look forward to meeting you. At almost 65 I am in better shape than I have been....maybe ever, at kestrel since high school. It's been a journey, and for me kayaking is reward as well as a part of the journey.

Hi have Frogg Toggs but I am not sure that is good enough? Its not paddling specific. I may try and run by alpine or rei and see what they have that will fit me. Otherwise my frog's will have to do.

Looks like most of the rain went South. They were saying 3 inches for Dora but they got 1.25 inches

But there are supposed to be thunder storms Saturday night, most likely at the height of the meteor shower. I really want to see the meteor showers and it is supposed to be clear up here. So I am going to cancel and go camp up at Beaver Dam State Park and watch the meteor showers there.

Deborah,
So glad you're going. I'm pretty nervous, too, as I'm not the best kayaker and I'm horribly out of shape. But I'm giving this whole thing a try.

First time Ozark Mountain river kayakers: bring a good rain jacket on the river with you. Thunderstorms can suddenly drop the temperatures 20 degrees or more. Don't rely on flimsy disposable ponchos.
