This is a BYOBoat Event (no tubes please)

Join us for our favorite in-town float.  We leave from Johnson Ferry (mile 311) and take out at Paces Mill (mile 304) with stops along the way to explore inlets or anything of interest.  Depending on water level, we may split in two groups at the big islands for those who want to take the lesser-traveled way around and then we'll join back up at the other end.

We'll be on the river from about 11 - 3'ish so bring whatever sustenance you need.  Anything goes, but NO GLASS please.

PLEASE BE AWARE that this is the first day of daylight savings time.  That means we set our clocks AHEAD one hour the night before (we get less sleep).  If you forget to adjust the time you may miss the float ... just sayin'

PLAN A:

We'll meet at Johnson Ferry to stage our gear.  Lynn and anyone else not driving will stay to watch over things.  All drivers will go to Paces Mill and one or two as needed will bring us back to Johnson Ferry.  A $3 (or season, etc.) parking pass is required at either end.

PLAN B:

You get to Johnson Ferry late after the shuttle has left.  Stay there and keep Lynn company.


Required Items to Bring:
