I'm out. Wicked bummed, I was really looking forward to this trip.

**atrane21** · 05-07-2014, 16:45

Well that sucks. We'll take plenty of pics for you.

Since friday (the 16th) is national bike/walk to work day and i already have off work i decided to do a nice long Tour de Breakfast ride (free breakfast for bikers all over the seacoast) in the AM. So i won't be making out to the river until early afternoon now. Pending how I feel after my 40+ mile morning ride i might just setup camp and not do the 7 mile float. If anyone is in for the friday trip down the river let me know and i'm sure i'll be easily convinced to do it! haha

Look forward to seeing everyone next weekend. Dingbat, again sorry you can't make it. Is there anything we could do to help you out to make it?

Dingbat! Oh bummer.
I guess we will have to sedate and kidnap you. Where do you store your tarp and hammock? I will grab them so you at least have a place to sleep that night after you wake up.

Nothing that a rain hat or poncho can't fix.

I will bring my Tadpole tarp too, to string up high over the camp fire so it doesn't become just a camp smoke and hiss.

**atrane21** · 05-09-2014, 13:15

yeah i can bring an extra poly tarp as well just in case.

Excellent plan! Don't cry for me though, it's a family obligation, but should be a good time. Might get cancelled if the forecast is bad enough. I can't loose either way.
