[davidbob]

(hope I didn't Jinx it). Post if you want to gamble with us that it will be there, and can help set the shuttle.

Where are y'all going to be and when?

[davidbob]

We'll be atthe Moore bridge put in - about an hour from now. Just north of hector now. Raining hard.

[davidbob]

Will it be a magical day on Richland, a tease, a washout, or another chapter in the Paddlers guide to Hiking Richland Creek? Stay tuned!

You guys gonna be making an afternoon run too?

Richland is almost always a one run affair (of course, unless you're Cowper and decide to run 12 laps in a single day).

6ft is also a bit high if it'll be your first time down.

It should hold for tomorrow and I bet there'll be lots of folks there tomorrow, too (including me if it holds!)

Cheers

I'm not sure if I can get away tomorrow. Anyway, it's just water and rocks right.

If you guys run it tomorrow where and when do you plan on putting it?

ARG picked a well used red Lotus PFD that was lying on the ground at the campground bridge yesterday afternoon, just before we headed out for home (LR). It obviously belongs to a kayaker (don't ask - we could just tell).

When we got home its was raining cats and dogs, so Cap'n Downstream and I left our gear/rafts in/on the ARG shuttle rig last night. When we unloaded this afternoon, as soon as I opened up the back hatch I said "We've been hanging around kayakers too long - we're starting to smell like them."

Then I remembered the red, worn, Lotus PFD we picked up.

Anyway, if you are looking for a PFD left at the campground bridge after yesterday's run on upper Richland let me know.

Let us know. (in the meantime, it's defumigating at the official ARG storage complex/Group Therapy Room in LR).

P.S. The PFD has a red band fastened around one of the shoulder straps. Looked like a river permit. Name the river and it's yours.

Pretty sure that PFD is Kyle Bogards.

What Jim E said. Kyle was missing his on Sunday.
