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.
The gage was broken for a few days. Saturday we will paddle from the North Fork Boat ramp at North Fork zrecreation Area. We will meet there st 9:00 AM. and run the shuttle. Saturday paddle will be 10 miles to Blair Bridge access. Sunday we can either paddle Hebron to Twin Bridges or the PP bridge to Tescumrsh.
Sorry you missed a beautiful day on the river. We were very far upstream on the Meramec where the water was already dropping the last couple of days. As I said they did not get a lot of rain up there and the water was just 6 or 8 inches above normal, nowhere near flood stage or hazardous levels. Hope you can make some of our future paddles. Having said this, it is always prudent to error on the side of caution. You know what you feel safe with best.
I did a 3 day, 33 mile float on Bryant Creek several years ago. There are no outfitters on that stream. We had to portage around numerous obstructions and one low water bridge. We saw nobody else on the whole trip. It doesn’t have as many springs as the North Fork but it’s a beautiful float and you can walk up to see Hodgson mill, always a plus.
GaryIt is about 3 1/2 hours. With the rain in forcastxact I cannot determine where we paddle each day. I will post is Friday Morning where we will meet on Saturday Morning.
