AAAARGGGG!!! I want to paddle something anything??

[Gordon Kumpuris]

I'm in Atlanta on Friday morning with a bazillion creeks running and probably 2 bazillion paddlers within 50 miles of me and I can't find a paddling partner for tomorrow. Boatertalk has been no help there seems to be no forum like this for Atlanta boaters. Geez is there anyone out there who wants to paddle with me Where is the love? I've talked with the only other boater down here I know and he's working. Not that you guys in Arkansas care. You are too busy paddling Richland, Tot etc. Grrrrrrr!!!!
For a good time call........ 501-944-0480

What about Cathy? Isn't she still in that area? Of course, you might not want to run all the bad@ss water that she's running these days! :shock: That girl's got skills! Scott R. should know how to reach her, I would think.

Oh, and since I now realize that YOU are out of town and WE are getting AWESOME rain here, let me be the first of Arkansas paddlers to say....

THANKS, GORDON!!!!

Randy and Julie Clemmens are up in Knoxville. Druse is down in Georgia as well.

Gordon, did you actually post on BT? I didn't see such a post and would think you'd get some responses if you did???

[Gordon Kumpuris]

Tomcat, I posted on the Boatertalk "planner" page. Should I have posted elsewhere? I'm not a regular user of boatertalk.

I'm not looking to paddle class V but I'd take on section IV at 2'. That said, it's over that now. Wondering if the Ocoee would be a good idea. Looks like a 6 hr release. Section III would be an option I suppose. Cartacay maybe??? Looks like there may be better options. Maybe even the Tellico but that's a bit of a haul. HELP!!!

Would welcome any of the above to contact me. I don't have contact info for any of these guys and gals.

Just sent Dru a facebook message. Forgot that he was over here. Not sure I need to be following him. Super High Intensity Training might be the plan.

Gordon, I would post on the regular BT page as I don't think the planner page gets nearly as much traffic. Again, I think you'll get some responses but make sure you communicate your desired level of paddling.

Fer sure the Ocoee is a good backup plan as I have gone there solo many many times but never felt that I was alone of the river and always got a hitch up for shuttle. I usually stash my boat and gear at the putin and get the shuttle done before I paddle as I think you have better places to stash at the putin vs the takeout.

[Gordon Kumpuris]

Yep that's my plan if I can't find a partner. I'll post on the main page too. Thanks.

Gordon,
Randy and Julie are actually headed for Ireland today . . . I will PM you Druse and Kaylan's phone number - they are in Dalton and maybe can help you out.

Re: AAAARGGGG!!!

Buttload - You are about this close to tradename infringement, pal. Get your own catch phrase. In the meantime leave ours alone, or the Lawyers, Engineers, and Private Wealth Managers of ARG will open up a can of whipbuttload on you with such shock and awe that you'll be reduced to a quivering mass of whimpering girly man, ah, er, unmanliness. Repent or we'll stuff a dead goldfish in your canary's mouth, force feed the canary to your horse, cut the horse's head off, wrap the head in newspaper, bury the rest of the horse in New Jersey, fill the horse's head with cement and leave it in your car the next time we find it parked near the Pinnacle Springs bridge put in on the Cadron (why not send two messages at once?).

Hi Gordon, Sorry just saw your post... I'm not keeping up with forum much these days. I'll be in Chattanooga this weekend, paddling either Saturday or Sunday. Haven't decided yet, but it might be better/safer to go Sunday since it's going to pour all day tomorrow. I'm thinking Cain/North Chick (class IV/V creek, 2.5 hrs from Atlanta) if you're interested. My roommate is heading up to Wilson Creek (class III/IV) in NC. I think that's a 4-ish hr drive from Atlanta, but a really great creek from what I've heard. Not sure what Druse and Kaylan are doing this weekend, but they just might be at the Ocoee. I can call around and see what others are doing as well. If you show up to the Ocoee or Catecay put in with a few extra beers, you're definitely going to get someone to boat with. I've done that many times!
Anyway, feel free to call me tonight! 4 zero 4 6 zero 6 639 nine.
