Just a few more weeks! Can't wait to see everyone!

@vawhelan said: Which venue was the final decision of the paddle. I'm going to try again to make it where ever it's held. Vicky Vicky - North Fork of the White - we will be camping at Twin Bridges - we usually also paddle Bryant and oth…
-
Pete - thanks for the update, I was starting to get worried that they were gone. I don't see below Highway PP being an issue, it's been a while since I have gone past PP, to much slow water for my liking. Haven't been on the North Fork in several…

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that I have tried to call Twin Bridges and haven't been able to reach anyone. I left a message several weeks ago and never received a call back, today I called again and the phone just rings, so now I have sent…

Pat C. - we all were at Pulltite for Fall Rendezvous - everything there is fine, just some trees missing near the river and more sand in campsites. There are changes in the river because of the flood, actually the flood took away some of what I con…

Sorry it took me so long to get my pics up. Better late than never. Can't wait to see you all in the spring. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Xz7kGK4MwhxH1rN02

Don't forget your snacks and drink of choice for High Tea!! Looking forward to seeing everyone and being away from the "real" world. I'll be there Tuesday but won't plan to paddle until Wednesday. Rob hopes to be there Wednesday night (he's still…

Can't wait for Rendezvous but I will be on the Current this weekend - taking a girl from work and her cousin, took them last year and they loved it, this year we'll paddle Pulltite to Round Spring. Next weekend is girls trip with Jo Anne and Margar…
-
Just as a reminder - if you want a specific campsite at Pulltite you may want to reserve it, walkin season doesn't start until 10/16 after we leave. Reservations can be made at Recreation.gov. Rob and I have a site that we like, so I just reserved…

Sorry it took me so long to post my pics. Enjoy! https://goo.gl/photos/oZg9LiRnkSMpAkAA6

Kim - Alley is intact, did get water in the building and the old school house. Everything is closed at least until Memorial Day - but that could change, there is a lot of damage and clean up to be done. I know they are working hard since paddling/…
-
CanoePam - seems to be some discussion on dates for Fall Rendezvous, stay tuned.
-
Anyone going down Highway 44 from STL beware that 44 is closed in certain areas (Union by Highway 50 and between Lebanon and Rolla) and they expect 44 at 141 to close Monday evening. You can go to MODOT.org and you'll see the road closures, be car…

Pam - Fall Rendezvous is the 3rd weekend of October, so that would be 10/18 to 10/22 (Vic is off a week on his dates).. Spring is always first weekend of May and Fall is 3rd weekend of October. Royalfan1 - not sure how many people will be there a…
-
Rena - will be good to see you both. We haven't done a potluck in a while, we now do "High Tea" more snacks/dips/cheese, etc. and wine/beer/moonshine/whatever you drink. See ya next week be safe driving and watch for flooded roads!
-
I agree with Vic that everyone should know their own skill level, but I want to stress for anyone that is new to this group that we will NOT be getting on a flooded river or any overly high river., we all put safety first. We may have to wait a day…
-
Yep, rivers are rolling. The Buffalo is closed right now, and if not yet, I would think Jacks, Current, etc. will follow. Tons of rain in the Ozarks and even here in STL But first paddle day for most of us is a week away. I know there is more ra…
-
Love all the pics! I don't have very many "old school" boats. Bob already posted one of mine the Mad River Guide that was his and then Doug's and now it's final home (no Doug I am not selling it back to you). My whitewater boat is a Mad River Outr…
-
Pete, no we aren't making moonshine but know plenty that do. I think if I don't bring Orange Creamsicle Moonshine Tom might have my head! Only 2 more months! Everyone please start praying to the rain Gods!
-
I know most will paddle Saturday, some may stick around for Sunday as well but most of the group heads home that day but if water is really good those folks that are retired and don't have to be at work on Monday will take advantage of good water an…
-
We all better start doing a rain dance. We are in a winter drought and rain has been hard to come by for MO and AR. Rain is coming in tomorrow night, something is better than nothing. Our long term forecast for Spring is dry (let's hope they are w…
-
I don't want to wish my life away but I am so ready for spring. Not sure how you folks North of me do it, we had about 2" of snow today and I am already over it. Of course the Buffalo River is an excellent choice (and one of my favorites) hopefull…

Link to Pics Sorry it took me so long but as you all know I took a TON of pics, was hard for me to decide which ones to delete. Hope you all enjoy. What a great trip, can't wait to see you all in the Spring. https://goo.gl/photos/fmqdMeYdoZWnJA…

You have wrong site number Tom. Tom, you can't have 23 as we do, you're in 22 (that's what Laurel told me.) See ya sometime Wednesday, I don't think I'll make it to paddle that day. Pam
-
Dates Yes, dates are 10/12 to 10/16, of course some people come early. I know a few will be there on Monday 10/10.
-
Rendezvous The group "usually" decides the night before what will be paddled the next day, depending on what people want to do there could be multiple trips. Usually someone will have a "general" campfire each night. We stopped doing the potluck b…
-
Staying at Pulltite! I know there is some talk about Echo Bluff and some maybe staying there. Rob and I will be staying at Pulltite and have no desire to stay at Echo. Don't get me wrong it's beautiful but they are going for a different market (th…

No flotation needed The Current is a class one river, I guess if it was in flood stage it would be a higher class (but it would be closed if flooded) but you do not need any flotation. The weekenders in the summer go down this river drunk, backward…
-
Dates should be 10/12 to 10/16 When we decided to "set" dates a few years back it was spring was the 1st weekend of May and fall would be 3rd weekend of October - so that would make this Fall Rendezvous October 12 - 16 as that is the 3rd weekend. W…
