The Labor Day trip was so much fun, we're planning a repeat for Friday, 9/12 before Rendezvous. Start your ACC weekend early with a Friday Lil Mo trip, and then head on up to Camp Couchdale once we get off the river!

The release is scheduled to start at 10am. Unlike Labor Day, since this trip is a Friday we'll call up the Corps of Engineers on Thursday to see if we can't confirm the release time and make sure they are sticking to the schedule.

Our plan is to be launching into the river at 10:00am. If you want to join our group, please think about how much time you personally need in order to launch at 10:00am, and plan accordingly. If you need 30 minutes to get ready, make sure you are there that early! If you only need 5 minutes, then you can sleep in longer!

If anyone would like to shuttle with us, we will be at the take out at 9:30am, leaving to the put in NO LATER than 9:40am. You can either show up at 9:30 and be ready to consolidate your boats and gear with us, or you could go to the put in first to offload your boats and gear and then come back to the take out and we'll give you a lift back to the put in. PLEASE POST IF YOU PLAN TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SHUTTLE.

We meet on the near side of the river closest to Murfreesboro, so assuming you are coming from Murfreesboro and you cross the bridge over the Lil Mo - you've gone to far. Look to pull off on the right before you cross the river.

Also, there is limited space for parking so please pull off the road and park in such a way that will still allow others to use the access

As always I'm in. I will drop my boat at the Put-in and take any others I find there to the take-out. This will be a great start to Rendezvous. See you there. BOB

I'm in. If anyone is comming through hot springs I would like to follow from there thanks!



JEff

I will plan to be there.

I may be going as well but am not 100% sure. Will let you know when I do.

Mags

Heather, I plan to off load gear at put in and be at take out by 9:30 to catch a ride to the top please.

Jeff, if you or others want to carpool, I have space for 3 riders and boats. Could meet at OOO at 7:45 to load up.

Beth

Planning to be there also. Will be at OOO at 0745.
Wally

Sounds good Wally! See you there!

With all the rain, you better call before you go. They may hold off on a release.

I will also tell you that I'm 95% sure I will no longer be planning this trip for Friday. That doesn't mean the entire trip is canceled, as others may still go.

However, this trip was planned due to the dam release as the only flowing water option. With the rain falling today, we should have natural flow options on Friday, which we don't also need to work against a specific release schedule.

I will post later tonight on a new thread if a new/different trip is planned. Rain dependent options may include Cossatot, or even the "middle" Little Missouri (starting at Hwy 85 and going to a couple miles ABOVE Greeson Lake).

I am in whatever you decide to do. Name your time and place. I'll keep an eye on the board for your reposting. BOB

Lupe,
I would be in for the lil mo from Langley on down. you said hwy 85 but I assume you meant 84.
Wally

Not going to Lil Mo.

Maggie

I did the upper today. Great run, but was falling out fast and the rain has moved out. At the hwy 84 bridge, it was showing 3.5 on the markings. We put in at 5.8. I doubt the tot will be much above 3 tomorrow.

You jinxed the rain Lupe with your 95% prediction!!
