I'm trying for a Friday/Saturday trip, but it's not 100% yet. I'm up for running whatever, going wherever. I'll bring my cut down rodeo and my blackfly option (in case it rains:-)). Hopefully see y'all there!

Well I'm in! Will be probably bringing the stinkeye and blackfly. Dunno about the edge as it's a bit too big to sink. Might just test some of the other mystery machines

Pretty excited!

I'm sure the forecast will change, but right now it looks like Sat. will be partly sunny and high around 70. Not too bad! (of course, it snowed here yesterday so my perspective may be different from some of you;) ). Looks like 80 on Wednesday!

For those that haven't been to the North Branch of the Potomac before, it is dam release... and they release from the bottom of the dam in this case... so the water will likely be brisk.

looks like Id be abale to go, workin out the drive situation but still dont think I can do a lot of carring, think.might ask for a hand at the putin or takeout.

Might just float it in a rubber.

Turns out I can't make it. Tony sorry I won't be there to help at putin and takeout, could somebody please offer poor injured Tony a hand lugging his boat around? I'm sure he'll have beer...just look for a handsome northerner with a limp!

Tony, if you're around where we will be I'll lug your boat for you!
Can't let something like that keep you from paddling with us.

Tony, The narrows is a fun class 2/3 roadside run. I plan on being there Fri.- Sun. Should be able to help out.

Looks like TonyB, ESP and myself in a car coming down Friday... any idea when and where we should meet up for the Csquirt yet? Or is anyone willing to offer up their cell phone so I can call on the way?

Also, anyone have a campsite with only 1 car in it, where could crash, if not I'll reserve something for us and we'll have space for another car. PM me or drop me an email at mzakutan at g mai l dot com.
