Trip Reports

Thursday Paddle - Staircase @ 950 cfs - 3 Aug 2017
Author Last Post
Yes, wicked Miki, she should have filed a TR.  The bone of contention was indeed where to take out.  Unfortunately a split decision was made before she & I showed up at Cindy Dees - and a few took out at Potoma Wayside - and most at Weverton.   Tim, who prefers Patoma , wanted us to use the Adventure service, but it didn't happen.

We were 13, put in at the R&T launch spot - river was at minimum level, all made the Bull Falls rapid just fine.  
Present were: Miki, Tim, me, Wayne, Mike Aronoff, Randy & Keith, Bob Maxey, Kim & Jenny - Wes Mills, Glen Johnson et al.

Our level was 950 cfs at Millville - below even Ed Evangelidi's bare minimum,   Once we got to the cool Potomac, we had a bouncy 7,300 cfs.  

  Bob & I went to the Mouse-Hole, but found a thick timber poised above the drop, so decided to skip it for the day.

Stopped off for ice cream at the Rocky Point Creamery on the way back.

Of note - the restaurant and Adventure Whats-its-face have divided the giant parking lot next to the resto.  Highly likely that another scheme to charge us for river access is afoot.  We need to inquire into what's up.
