this is the same trip that got rained out last week. here is the trip description and directions to the location where we will drop off our boats and shuttle.
May 24th, 2009 10:00 AM Quinebaug River Canoe Trail.
Leader: Henry Dziadosz henry@twincitysupply.com 401-567-0313. We will start the shuttle at 10:00 AM sharp from the launch area.
Allow time to unload your boat and gear before shuttling vehicles to the take out.
The location of this trip was scheduled to be from Fabyan to West Thompson Lake. After scouting the trip, Henry decided the water levels were too high for some paddlers to safely navigate, so the trip has been moved to this new location.
Changes and cancellations to trips will be posted on the flatwater message board. Please check the board before leaving for any trip.
Trip is suitable for all levels and lengths of boats. Bring a lunch.
