      Seeing if there is interest on a Mississippi R trip Sunday Sept 24 . Plan would be to meet at Maple Island Take out ( it’s at the end of Riverlands) 9 am. We will shuttle up to Dresser island Conservation Area. This requires a kayak with at least 2 bulkheads, 14’ or longer, skirt, deep water rescue skills, VHF radio if you have one. PFD, water, lunch . This is about 11 miles . The take out has a sand bar and will require some carrying due to low water. No one without deep water rescue skills or proper boat allowed. It will be cancelled if bad weather. Kathy 3144023038

      There is enough to make a shuttle. Possible light rain , so dress accordingly. Kathy 3144023038

      I’m bringing my trailer, and looks like Aven and his cousin. See you at 9:00 tomorrow.

      There is a detour going to Maple Island. Instead of Riverlands Way, you need to take Red School Road to Wise Rd. Then turn right on Riverlands Way. It takes maybe 10 more minutes. Joan

      I’ll check weather at 6 am. There might be some rain, but slight so far. I’ll post and text early if the rain looks heavy . Kathy 3144023038
