Great idea. I am there!

libations ! door prizes ! river stewardship ! Its a Win - Win ! I'm in and bringing a few folks as well.

If we come, do we need to bring any $$ for lunch?

Having River Town cater it is almost enough in itself to get me there.

I am probably in wheres a good place to camp.

This is a fun and worthwhile event that Turner Bend has sponsored for many years. They have great camping at their place with hot showers. Here's a link to their website. http://www.turnerbend.com/index.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Linda - in the past, lunch has been complimentary to the clean-up volunteers. I'd be surprised if this year is any different.

Cool I can wait to get some trash off of the natural states roads and waterways.

Mia and I (and friends!) will hit the Millcreek takeout as usual. See ya at T.B.

I've got an event for the Muscular Dystrophy Association in Fort Smith until 10 a.m. Saturday morning--I'm assuming we can show up and help with the clean-up if we miss registration?

I'm heading that way and should arrive before dawn. Anyone planning on paddling tomorrow?

p.s. If you don't see me by lunch, kick the black Nissan XTerra with stickers all over it.

Molly Moccasin -

I'll bet that your help in cleaning up the creek will be appreciated in any way that you can participate.

Roman LA -

I think a more fitting punishment for not making the cleanup on time....... is to enjoy your share of the libations !

One should certainly hope so! (laughter) See you on the river!

Anyone participating in the Jungle Boater race?

If it is cold and rainy, I won't be picking up trash tomorrow.

Me, Linda ad Mongo will be up to take pictures. I dont see us there by 9:00 though. Probably around 10:00-10:30.

What a good time!

Can't believe it didn't feel any colder than it was it must have been all the good vibes from all good folks with love for the Mulberry...The snow was a nice additional effect!

Wow, I can't believe how much the river has changed from High Bank to Byrds.

I would have to say that Zeke's is gonna be less of a headache from on.
