Rest in peace dear friend, we loved you much. Thank you for shining your light on us, you'll never be forgotten.

With Love,
Vernon Rainwater

Vernon's son here telling ya'll about last weekend when my dad lost his Christmas light nose clips and he stuffed sticks up his nose. Yep, He stuffed sticks up his nose.

I hope he doesn't lose his Christmas light nose clips!

I just realized that Bob's beloved Tot has'nt reached his preferred levels since way back in mid Oct. (came close to just 4' once in late Dec.).

Yet it hits around 5' both the week of his passing and the week of his memorial. Coincidence or not?

OK, just a feeble attempt to control my addiction. In absense of a Baker fix, a Tot fix will suffice.

With all this water for the weekend, whos going where? I'll be glad to drive, got plenty room, let's PADDLE!

Hey Ryan,

This S'port boater is holding out for Baker or something similar. I can go anytime after Thurs morning. Let it rain!

Thanks, great shots, Harlan. Love the one of me in a backsurf in the foreground,and Dangerboy stuck in a shrub in the background. What a great day had by all, I'm glad you guys got a taste of Baker and can't wait 'til it goes again.

Adam, Renee posted that link just recently. Just scroll down to about page 3 on this board, it's one of the last posts on a thread titled, "Rip it up at Rockport". I believe through this Sunday it'll go at 3600 cfs from 9 am til 3 or 6 pm. Starting this monday, just 9 am until noon daily. ...

Surf's up! 3600 from 6:00 til 6:00. Any of you N. Louisianians up for a Sunday surf?

Great to find out about more folks from our area getting into paddling. I look forward to paddling with you some day, Louis. Yes Adam, I did find a local surf hole at the Bisteneau lake spillway during drawdown. It was at it's prime when you were out east recently, but, gone now. It was small and sh...

You were in front of me on 80 today, noticed your ACC sticker. Just wanted you to know...that was just a friendly fellow paddler and not some weirdo trying to get you to stop and chat.

Sorry I missed that day, also. That hole at that level is truly a HOOT. My 1st year paddling there, I'd jump into the "rowdy monster" knowing I had a 50/50 chance of having to swim out. Never recirculated once out of the boat, and if I could'nt hang on to my boat, it would wash up on the b...

I can only provide a few names. Rodney is the father to which you refered, I believe they are from Hot Springs. Kyle's last name is Bogart.

Did you find the Kingpin 6.2 you were in search of? If not, I may be
persuaded to part with mine.

Hey Ben,

If those stars do line up, I'd be interested in tagging along. We paddled the Tot and Baker together back in December. I noticed you had a top ten finish in a recent kayak competition out in CO, congratulations.

I'll give you a call this evening.

Hey Harlan,

If you have room for one more, this surf freak may want to come with.
It's been running 9 til 9 of late, gets to the ledge 'bout noon.
