Start at "wait rocks" above Gap Falls and ends at "Kendall Rocks" (pool), I beleive!

Just remember the traffic flow patterns will be different during the town's events during the day.

I'm thinking about spending the entry fee on other things and cheering you on from the PBR rock! Go fast, take chances and have fun!

My buddy is out....

You want to highside with me? That would work! Bring it just in case - if Tony is cool with that. Mine is getting re-hab'ed or taken out and shot (end of life). I'll toss the Prelude or Fink on the car as an option too. :-)

Ok I'll see if I can get it, but unless the river is really high I plan to race.

You lucky dogs...I just haven't been able to get in sync with my canoe crew too much this year. I'll be in Delaware doin' some fishin' with the family. Have fun, be safe and bring home some braggin' rights! I'll be out there next weekend...no doubt.
