Paddle something on sunday ??

I'm ready to get out on sunday, March 30. Saturday is suppose to be rainy and I've got thing's to do.
I'm up for just about anything that's within a hour's drive. Gas prices are killing the fun.
Suggestions are; Natchaug, Quinnibaug, Nashua, Hop (that would be nice).
I don't think I'll make the longer drive to the Farmington yet.
Post here, or email me if your interested. We'll decide on something.

Yeah, it's about 1/4 mile down the road at the end of all the Plaza's and shopping center's. But I figured most folk's would cross the river, and by time they wondered where the heck it was, they'd see it just down the road.

Hop River on Sunday

Unless something changes, we will be doing the Hop River in Andover, CT on Sunday. I’ve never done it myself, but is sounds a lot like the Branch or the Willimantic – flatwater, quickwater and a few interesting rapids that sneak up on you suddenly (short class I-II stuff). Unless we get a lot of rain, it might be a little low, but should be passable. Check back here for meeting time and place.

Matt – Crystal at 1200 sounds great, but I think I’m going to stick a little closer to home this weekend. I know those poling boats don’t usually come out until a little later in the year, but you and Aaron are welcome to join us.

Dave – this isn’t a WW river, but is should be nice. There’s talk of doing the Upper Millers in April. I’ll also be heading out west to paddle with Matt sometime.

Plan is to meet at McDonalds on Route 6 in Danielson, CT. at 9:00. Its right after you cross the Quinnibaug River in the plaza on the right.

Well, it's not right after the Quinnebaug, and I think it may be a couple plazas down the road on the right, but if you run out of stoplights you went to far.

By the way, given gas prices these days, I can put another boat on my truck if anyone wants to make arrangements to share rides. E-mail me.

I'm interested in getting out there with my fat little Otter. Where do we meet? How long do you expect it to take roundtrip?

I'd be interested in something on Sunday. Probably class II'ish for my first paddle of the season.

was thinking of meeting Erik half way and doing the Salmon if it comes up. Got to be higher than last friday(4.1), though, but we've got a few days of rain coming up. Erik, Crystals "down" to 1200, still a great level, if we get 1900 like last Saturday, I'll be staying local. What a perfect level, big but playable.
