Would have smoked you all anyway.......

But don't change your plans

Maybe next year.

I'm excited!! Was gonna go last year, but plans got all screwed up, so this will be the first year we get to attend!!! I of course plan on my usual paddling regimen , so all ya'll slackers watch out!!

Some of us are plannin on movin' from the Piney to the Berry for a casual float on Monday, so if yer free, join us!!

I did the Jungle boat race , how does this compare is there more white water or less?? I know the distance is shorter

I signed up for the race. I'd sure like to bum a ride back up to retrieve my truck after the race. Also I signed up as a solo canoe but if somebody wants to be in the front of my canoe they just need to pay the $15 and I can change to double canoe.

We were definitely in the slacker division, when we got there the race had already started. it was raining lightly, but we still had a great time. will definitely come back next year.
