Man, me too. Water hold out plz.

I gotta mtg at 10:00 with some city officials tomorrow to talk about ways to put in the rest of the Fayetteville trail system in a way that
1) allows people to see the creek to foster creek love among the larger unaware population
2) does not cause habitat loss
3) does not harm water quality
4) does not negatively impact the parks budget
5) does not waste tax payer money

vs
1) allows people to see the creek to foster creek love
2)Causes bad impacts on water qualtiy,
3) bad impacts on wildlife habitat,
4) bad impacts on park budget,
5) bad impacts on tax payer money

I would like to flake out, but can't..... so hopefully something close will be going, but if not I am prepared to travel a distance to the tot or somehwere's else paddle camp and paddle some more.

My lady friend might not be into that, but by god a paddler must do what a paddler must do to get some water time in every now and then.

i am considering a late afternoon run on the west fork of the white river. put in a winslow take out at the road side park.

never done it before. any takers on that.

eric

I am hoping to get in a local run tomorrow too. The West Fork is running today, but might drop out tomorrow without some more rain.

i meant that i would like to hit the west fork of the white this afternoon Jan 21. i don't imagine it will be there tomorrow. it seems to drop out fast.

that being said I have never done. I have just watched it on the guage page.

eric

Gotcha!

Hey, did you get the WaveSport Y?

I haven't picked it up yet. nick and I talked though, and have plans to meet hopefully in the near future.

long live budget boats.

you can't hit the west fork today?

eric

The Y will make a great 2nd boat. I will have to be quicker on my response next time .

My son has a basketball game this afternoon, so unfortunately, a West Fork run today is out for me.

I have missed a few deals by thinking too long about them on the gear swap too.

eric

Earlier I would have said yes, let's go now !!!

Now, I am just sol though. Do have fun if you go and enjoy the 5 play waves that were never there before, but are there now due to a natural channel stream restoration that was completed earlier this year.

Stabilize a streambank, make some new playspots....win win.

don't be alarmed when the locals pull over, walk to the ball park bridge and say.... you know there is a waterfall up a head don't you??

Lee or Mulberry on Friday?

What do you think?

i would rather hit the tot for the first time. just don't want to drive by myself. borrring

eric

I'd probably be up for paddling tomorrow. Lee or Mulberry are both good with me; I don't really feel like going all the way down to the 'Tot. I don't have class tomorrow, so I could go anytime.

Anyone know if the Pig Trail is open North of Turners? I know it was closed completely for a short while. Just wondering if the one lane is open again.

I believe that the road has one lane open now.
