Remmel Dam to The Ledge Float on Saturday

Post by Jim Krueger » Wed Aug 04, 2010 8:11 pm

The temps. on Saturday may fall to a cool 95 degrees so I think we will again head back to The ledge about Noon to meet&shuttle on up, to the dam :) If any of you should care to join in, please do. Two gravel bar stops en route, with fine riparian entertainment if I can find my squirt gun like Richard's grandson had last weekend :)

Best Regards
Jim Moose

What kind of float is this? I have never been.

Is it a mostly flatwater float like the Kings?

Or is this a more active float for creekers?

thanks, I have a small dog that rides with me in a canoe or sit on top kayak. So I am cautions about turbulent water. I have never been to this Ouachita area and would love to discover it, so anytime I see groups gathering with shuttles I take notice. But doubt I can make it over this saturday.

Jim - that would be great! They don't have paddles for a canoe, but my dad is supposed to be trying to find some PFD's from his bass boat and my brother's ski boat. I have 2 extras for the boys so my dad was going to try to find some. If they can wear yours, that would be awesome! I will be sure to bring some beer for you as the "rent fee." :mrgreen:

Renee, we'll look forward to seeing you all, I'll bring the canoe&gear. I have plenty of extra adult vests but just two kids vests I bought for my brothers boys when they were pretty little. See you all on Sat.

Jim - they are all older. We only would need 2 PFDs. The older kids are adult size and I have them covered. Thanks again for the canoe loaner :)

I am still in town so I will be there. If all goes as planned there will be eight of us. All but a daughter and me will be grandkids. I will be the grey Subaru with three canoes on top and grandkids hanging out of the windows. Then it is off to Wisconsin to escape the heat.

Yay! More kids! :clap: My sister's teenagers will be thrilled. She was concerned they might be bored hanging with the adults.

Jim, do you need me to stop in Benton and help transport canoe?
