We will save you a couple. And will make sure they aren't like the ones we picked for Gresh at the Spring Swing

My friends suck.

Before you saw the trees, you said we were awesome...how quickly the tide turns, hahahaha!! Those trees were perfectly spaced, alive and contained no widow makers. I don't see what the problem was...... ;-)

Junebug's right. Those trees were perfect for the "house of Gresh". Would have left you in your rightful place. Right on the ground . Will try to find bigger ones this time my friend.

Just a meager three weeks left. Time to start perfecting those recipes and gathering together the gear to bring. L.D.Cakes is wanting to the lead a paddle tour on the lake for lunch on Saturday and for those who want to join in on that, but either don't want to drag their boats or don't have a boat of their own fret not. There are several places locally that will rent paddle gear to you. Of course the local REI is one option that many people are familiar with. They charge $54 (member pricing) for the first day ($27 [member pricing]) each additional day) on a single person touring Kayak and $44/$22 (member pricing) for general purpose recreational kayak. REI does not count pick and drop off days against the fee so if you pick up on Friday and drop off on Sunday you only pay for Saturday. The guy I spoke with said they only have a half dozen boats to rent so if you are considering renting a boat from them then best to call early and reserve the boat. There is also Frog Hollow Outdoors in Durham and Paddle Creek in Wake Forest if REI is out of stock of their rentals.

I am going to reserve a kayak, because this sounds like a lot of fun. But I will come to the Hang on a motorcycle...

Is someone with "a vehicle with 2 wheels too many" willing to help me transport the kayak to the water, and then back to the store at the end of the day?

[Junebugdawn]

I can get these ponchos for $7+tax at my local Army Navy. I have one and they are very tough and large enough to fit over your pack when backpacking. If anyone would like me to pick one up for you and bring it to the hang, let me know.

[gunner76]

Junebug...you look different in that poncho.

[Junebugdawn]

That's my tough look.
Actually, I thought about modeling it, but was lazy and just found this guy on Google. ;-)

[visionarylion]

How much is it? And can I pay in person cuz I don't have a paypal account??

[XTrekker]

Still planning to be at this event. I'll know for sure next week.

[Junebugdawn]

$8 will cover the ponchos. If anyone is interested, just PM me.
