2010 N. Branch of the Potomac Armada / Cquirt May 21-23

Post by Sir Adam »

Rather than do a poll this year (which we prefer), after looking at the dates (only 4 this year?!), which weekends the campground is open, which is Mother's Day, etc... it only leaves one weekend... so that's when the Armada will be.

Friday, May 21- Cquirt on the Cheat Narrows (other location if conditions are better)
Sat. May 22nd - meet at 10am at the brick building to set up shuttles and such, attempt to be on the water around 11 to run the North Branch

Sat. night dinner at Fox's?

Sunday May 23rd - whatever we feel like (usually some folks leave in the AM, others run the first half of the NB, others boat something on the way home with others headed in the same direction).

I'll post more on the NB in general in a bit.

Camping will be at the Robert Craig Campground at Randolph Jennings Park:

Usually we try and take all the non-electric sites we can, and share sites (2 cars per site as I recall).

I hope to be there this year, and if I can make it may have my father join me for Saturday. He's an open boater, OC2 usually, but I'd likely bring a duck for him.
Keep the C!
