I really want to do the Piney. See who else might go Sunday. I would like to share a ride and cost of gas too. It is high right now but by Sunday might be better. Warmer and sunnier then too. Lets see how it goes.

Talked with Liz last night and she wants to go. Count us in. We'll try to push for 10:00. I had said in the PM that it may take us 2.5 hours to get there, but I am not sure as I have never been there. Maybe it only takes 2 hours. Jeff may know since he travels from F-ville.

We also have a friend who may want to join in the fun.

Kru - Look forward to seeing you and Liz again. As for time from Fayetteville, assuming you go freeway, it is about 90 miles until exit 64 on I-40, and then approx 25 miles to Longpool. I would allow 2.5 hrs to be safe, so let's plan to meet at 10:30 at Longpool. I can always use the extra time.

I will post additional details once I know who may be joining us from the LR area.

3 of us will be coming from LR and will get to Longpool @ 10. We will be in grey toyota. We will meet Dan and one other group and figure out the Shuttle. Kru, when you get there, we will be ready to go and you can plan to take your truck to Heltons. See you tomorrow.

Does anyone have an extra canoe paddle I can borrow. I left mine and my backup in the shuttle ride yesterday. If not we will have to stop my Moore's Outdoor and pick one up.

I'll check this from the road.

Great float. Thanks to all who had to wait for us (which is everyone). Can't wait to get back.
