Friday 1730 TOT run Ed Banks to Sandbar, trip report...

Post by garyreinhart » Thu Apr 02, 2009 8:25 pm

Showed up at the Ed Banks bridge about 5 just in time to catch Bob (C1), Joe & his wife, (forgot her name...) getting ready to launch and asked to tag along. Thanks you guys, I appreciate you!!! Was pretty much my first whitewater run for many years in a new small boat. Very exciting and fun! I didn't hit every eddie I intended to but put in a clean run from the bridge to the Washing Machine. I felt like I needed a little more water and a little more time in my boat to do it though...
Thanks to Jody for the ride, and I know I will run into you all again!!!!!!!!!!

We are meeting with someone around 11:30 for a run, then back up with Michele, Nick H and crew around 2:30. I imagine we could be talked into another quick run, but you should go to the Falls area to look for shuttle - not Ed Banks. We might be in the Falls area around 5ish. My cell is 5013526804 - you will have to call some time between 8 and 10:00 because I'll probably lose signal around Salem.

Sure was great seeing alot of yall that I haven't seen in forever,and to the new friends,See all you TotHeads next time! :beer:
