    We live 5 minutes from the meeting place, would be glad to cook bacon & eggs and coffee for any of the paddlers. Any takers?

       Awesome paddle Michael.

       With my two flips my luck streak has worn off. Thanks Michael and Adam for helping me out when I needed it. 
    •  my husband and i had never paddled a creek before, (lakes and rivers...yes). so, we didn't know what to expect. what a ride! lots of class one and two rapids, drainers and fast moving water. luckily, we didn't have a spill. but, for those that did, help was offered immediately. great to go with a group who can get you out of trouble fast. quite impressed with the level of talent of the those who led and assisted. beautiful scenery, particularly with the fall foliage. great time! will do it again. thanks so much for a great day on the water.

       I was very excited to see the right water level on a nice weekend day. Can't think of a better way to bring in November & view the beautiful fall foliage. Terri & Jordan sacrified a paddle adventure to help shuttle & intercept to take photos along the Station Camp Creek journey. We love your spirit. The photos are top notch & you made us look great. We had an awesome team of folks working together for an EXCELLENT Paddle Adventures Plus Adventure. Thanks to everyone involved.
