Any New Year's icicle paddle trips/parties planned for this weekend at the Frogger or Mulberry????? Something local yocal? I am working some but have some time to paddle.......not enough to road trip or go camping.
Do they still do the polar bear swim on the Frog?

I might try to pull off another upper kings river trip (marble to marshall ford) ....if there is any interest?.. on the other hand if your going to" polar swim" we all might come to see that for 2010

Will probably be at Dierks for New Year's Eve and all weekend!

I used polar swim on the Mulberry when I first started paddling in Jan, '00...you learn quickly how to balance that boat!

I used to love icicle paddling on Lee Creek but it isn't going to be there is it?

Diona

nope.... I bet it will be gone! but, the mulberry should hold. ......... soooo you in for swimming ??

Let Susan and I know where you want to go. Susan says she would be up for a trip as long as I let her take the Skreem and a spray skirt this year....., and she promises to stay away from the undercut bluff and admire it from a far this time. Will have to check with Mary to see if she is off or working.

Sorry D, I'll be moving on the 31st, and then settling the dogs in to their new home on New Year's Day. I'll catch up with you at some point.

Diane

Darn...I forgot.

I'm watching the weather blow in from the west.... new years eve thurs.swimming on mulberry (if we can make it over the pig trail) fri. new years day on the kings @ marble (no swimming aloud) kind of looks like some form of a plan?.. who's in for what???... hold your hand up to be counted! ....

I am with you on that one.........holding my breath we don't get any more snow or ice.........
I won't make it either if we get more nasty ice on the roads......I really want to paddle but not if the Pig Trail is too dangerous for me to drive.

Just saw on the news Hiway 23 has been closed for the next two wks while they work stabilizing the area. Plan to work 7 days a wk for two weeks to get one lane back open. Believe it is the same area they have been working on (near Mulberry Mountain). Cal
