We discussed it last week and the majority of us couldn't make it tonight. Plus we are out of water at west fork, and it's pretty much too dark to play by about 7.

However, since Kurt has been talking all that nonsense declaring himself king of boatball, I think everyone is up for trying to get a season finale game on a Sunday sometime soon.

I was actually trying to get a game up for Saturday November 13. I have a clubcommitment at Lincoln Lake and wanted to see if anyone was interested in that venue. If not, let's pick a place and day and close out the season with the championship match. Who's in for Lincoln Lake?

I'm down for any Sunday where there isn't a decent level on a creek.

This next Sunday is expected to be 80 degrees!!! Perfect for boatball on Beaver... Blue Springs on Beaver is a good central location.

The long range forecast actually has rain for the late part of next week so cross your fingers for some real water!

Other than that, I would even drive to Lincoln in November if that's where the action is at.

It ain't so bad. Been getting better for years.

What kind of club committment do you have out there Kurt? D'ya need any helpers or just help passing the time playing the boatball?

Boatball championship game just sounds......like a recipe for rain.

Boatball championship on 13th!!!

Commitment level is pretty low. I have a Booth and plan to spread knowledge about club, roll sessions, white water school, rec boat school, chapter meetings. I would love to get a boatball game up to pass time and play one last time before white water season. Water quality at Lake Lincoln looked pretty good after Lee creek clean up. Total park looks cool with mountain bike trail and rock climbing opportunity. Kind of felt like an old school Arkansas spot. Not heavily regulated but a good leave no trace vibe. I would definitely make an effort to go rec boat paddle it even without the event. It was featured on PBS Arkansas outdoors show that can probably be e-searched for details.
I will be back in town Sunday and up for a game. Blue springs is a good spot. Do we have enough interest

If it rains enough white water boaters will be on a river
That is a given.

I'm in. May have a couple others. Many folks from Fayettenam are out on Mulberry Mountain losing their minds at Harvest Fest this weekend though, so I'm not sure who's around.

I'm good. Place and time? I vote 2pm at Blue Springs. And folks returning from dancin' with the bears down on the mountain could probably use a swim to help clear the botanical residue from their brains...! :shock:

I will also play at Lincoln on the 13th... but Sunday is sunny and 80--

I will also play at Lincoln Lake. Anne loves to climb out there. Pretty sweet little spot if you ask me!
