September 21-23, Camp Couchdale!

Share your Stoke!!!

Yay!

Good times, great people and a new boat for the bambino!

I'll save the "I can't wait" statements for when we're back from the Ocoee.

Perhaps a best canned beer taste-off would be in order to replace the beer garden? Very informal, of course. ?? I saw that New Belgium is putting Ranger IPA in cans and that lots of Colorado micro breweries are going to cans in place of glass. Good for us!

Buffalo Sweat by Tallgrass Brewing is in a can. Mmmm... Oatmeal cream stout in a can. I've bought it at Pop-a-Top before.

No Sig, you've got it all confusified. You're 'posed to wait til 'vous to unveil your recommendations. However, since you've let the cat out I'll second the Buffalo Sweat recommendation, especially when consumed in the fall on an Ozark stream multi-day. Another good 'un is Joseph James Hop Box. I know not everyone is a fan of hoppy goodness, but for those who are it's a must.

What am I stoked about?

Sharing our sport and club with people (remember to invite your non-paddling friends)

NW Chapter is ready for some Boatball... Yessir.

I'm looking forward to snagging the XP10 package so I can start going on some of the cap'n's trips, that is once someone teaches me how to get down river with the hairy side up.

Thought I would post the schedule here too:

Get ready y'all!!! Rendezvous is just around the corner, so load up your , don't be a , pass the , and lets PARTY!!!!

Seriously....is no one else excited??

I know my family is. Never seen Little Deuce wake up so quickly as she did this morning when I told her about the tie dyeing.

I am!! I am!! I wish we were having silent auction, but I understand with lack of help. I wish I could have been more help this year, but stupid work got in my way

By the way, what happened to the Margarita Mix off? Did the beer garden (that is now not happening) replace it?

Yeah, but I think we should bring a new event...the MARGARITA POTLUCK!!!!! So people sign up here on this thread as to what you're bringing and then...we'll just have a bunch of ice and a couple of blenders and voila!

Ability to hit swimmer accurately most times out of five. ( Will need some volunteers to swim). 

We will have awards for each competition to be awarded after the Pot Luck. 

Pot Luck: 7:00 pm. Same venue and format as last year.
Ready to eat dishes enough for your family and a couple more. 
We will not have cooking, heating or cooling facilities. 
Bring serving dish for your dish.
