This Saturday, May 2, Test run & race route clearing
Preparation/Test Runs: On
the afternoon of May 1 through just before dark on May 3, the gate to this 29
North Put-In will be open and paddlers are encourage to make this 6.2 mile run
to get acquainted with the rapids. On
Saturday May 2, a flotilla of veteran paddlers/workers will start down at 10:00
am with their primary “duty” to clear any fallen trees or other obstructions to
river navigation. This is a great time
of beginners to accompany these veterans down this stretch of the river. They may even want to pick up their craft,
carry it back up stream and make additional runs through the different
rapids.
