Hoping some more Canadians will boat with us this year.

So far Jeremy and the blackfly demo's are expected. the Dryway or Fifebrook are exceptional river sections to demo canoes as you can easily get 2 laps in a day. I'm sure Blackfly would be happy to deliver something new and special to you there.

Nothing on my schedule for that date. I haven't been on the Dryway in 5 years. I lurked last year camping in the state forest north of Savoy in an apple orchard and paddled the Fife and gap.
We'll see.

Last year was a great time, and finally gave me an excuse to get down to the Deerfield. I easily ran both sections (all of the Dryway as well as the Fife Brook section) in a relaxed day. Wish I could make it this year, but I have a prior commitment. Should be a great time; if you are thinking about it, GO!

i'll be there smoking up the river. just got one of the last campsites at savoy. only a couple left.

the best part of the weekend was getting flashed WOW by tipsy tubber girl on the lower fife above zoar gap. thanks to all at dryway for a couple great runs. http://youtu.be/kFQG--1kY-s" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

ARF Was fun. Lots of people stayed away from the dryway on Deerfest weekend because the Monroe bridge was closed to all but pedestrian traffic. It just moved more of the 'normal' crazy putin traffic from river Left to river right parking all the way up into the little town.
