Hailstone Society proposed

[hollohead]

I have an awesome new 9.5 ft. raft that I bought specifically for the Hailstone and other Arkansas runs, I have paddled this raft down the Hailstone with just 2 people in the boat and it was big time fun. I live in Compton, and can go anytime I want. Problem is, I don't have anyone to go with me who has same freedom, and is close enough to get here quickly. I was wondering if there was anybody who lived in North Arkansas area who would be interested in running the Hailstone whenever it gets up? I have an ore rig, but it is more fun paddling with 2 or 3 people in the raft, and I want to go every time it comes up. Going in the raft makes it easy on old bones, but I love hanging out with the young crowd also. Anyone up for a Hailstone Society, all you have to do is show up, and I'll take care of the logistics.

You really don't know how many people you are p*$$*ng off with this post do you?

You're that close and bragging?

[hollohead]

Ah come on Roger, I may be close, but It's more frustrating cause I'm not getting to go. Not bragging, just want to go, and I'll make it easy for somebody to enjoy the Hailstone.

Let's take the raft down Osage Cr. Even closer to home.

Just call me when it's raining hard enough to run the creek! :)

Fish, the Osage was raging yesterday, perfect level, but no one ever comes to run it anymore. Kinda sad, i was hoping to watch folks from my back deck.

sounds to me like a great way to see the run for the first time. I'm in hot springs, but always up early. Watching this thread!!!!!

Do we get a sticker and a t- shirt? I and my best paddling buddy James love that run!We'll join your cult!-M-

[hilbili]

did I see a raft for sale?

[hollohead]

Hell yeah I'll get t shirts and stickers if I get to paddle Hailstone every time it comes up! Next opportunity, I'll be ready to roll
