Some are talking about it...

Probably gonna happen, this is your 48 hour warning.

Meet at Hwy 65 bridge, Cadron Creek (aka, North Fork Cadron Creek)

REVISED: Forecast is now 100% chance the trip is gonna happen; Several have requested a slightly later launch. Weather Service says it will be very cold tonight, but warming rapidly as morning progresses, so I bow to peer pressure - Try to be under the bridge at 10 AM!

90% maybe here. Why starting so early? 10 might be better, am that is. According to what the high is forcasted to be for me.

Karla

Where are you putting in? Pinnacle Springs or Lizs' place?

Karla,
I believe Cowper set that early time so those who want to go watch Brandy and Michelle at the Roller Derby bout would have enough time to do so.

Maggie

Maggie & Karla - spoke with Cowper last night and he said we could meet around 9am. That should give us enough time.

Renee, enough time for what? When are we putting in on the river and where exactly.

Karla

Enough time to get off the creek before sunset, and make it to rollerball on time. "Take off before sunset" and "on time to anything" are both very challenging goals for me.

There is a ? % chance that I will join in on this floatilla. I've never paddled Cadron except for where Cove Creek confluences it near Mallet Town.

Know all too well what you mean.

Still not sure if I want to be there with the low suppose to be 20 during Friday night. Now where are you planning to put in?????

Karla aka "broken nose"

Looks like conditions will be great on Saturday but i cannot join. This is basketball season and I will be spending the day watching the kids play hoops.

Have a good one, and if there are any mishaps this weekend (such as a broken nose), you won't be able to blame it on my bad Karma.

John, you haven't seen me lately. I have changed. Yep, nose still there. Hey do we have a nose smiley? Still trying to decide, go paddle or not to paddle (stay in bed & sleep in?") If I didn't have a drysuit, there would be no deciding.

Karla & Cowper - we could probably meet 10ish and try to put in at 11ish and with a fairly steady pace, be off the river around 4ish. This would give me time to get back home and change and grab a quick bit. Karla, we are all going to the roller derby bout at Skateworld in Little Rock to support two fellow paddlers that are bouting against each other at 7pm (Brandy Ballard & Michelle Ashford) The cost is $10 and it starts at 7pm and portions of proceeds go to charity so come out for the entertainment. And Cowper if we stop for a bite to eat, it would have to be somewhere quick.

Everybody stay tuned for possible time shift. I would say the trip is now 100% on; exact put-in is still being worked out but will be somewhere upstream of Hwy 65. Time is still under negotiation with considerable pressure to meet a little bit later.


UPDATED: OKAY OKAY OKAY! 10 AM meeting time.

Okay 10am it is!

OK after much thought have decided the sleeping in can wait til Sunday. I plan to be there along with my nose See ya'll at 10 am at put in.

OH and Cowper, we will do our best to get you off the river before dark.

Karla - it will certainly be before dark. I am hoping to be off river and through running shuttle by 4pm.
