    The time of day depends on which outfitter we choose and whether we do the Shenandoah, the Potomac, or both (which some of us were considering).

    Random babblings and some stuff to look at.

    So we're doing this in two weeks and there are five of us going? That will certainly make collecting $$ for the reservation much easier

    So, do we want to stick with the same outfitter as last year, or try one of the others?

    Who did we use last year?

    Would someone like to state a preference for start time?
    I'd rather be swimming...biking...running...and eating cheesecake...

    Last year we used River Riders out of Harpers Ferry. They and Butts both offer a choice of Potomac (whitewater) or Shenandoah (mostly flatwater, some very small rapids), but it looks as if only River Riders has a package for both rivers.

    Let's figure out what everyone's river preferences are so we can figure out a time:

    HillSlug, Slug daughter, maybe Slug partner --
    KD -- Either river is fine with me. I was considering doing both, but if the weather's like today the heat will wipe me out after the first run.
    DB --


    nybiker, sfa, Zen, are any of you ladies (yes, I know you're not all "ladies") still planning on this? If so, please add your name and preference to the list so we can settle the details and make a reservation.

    Regina, it won't be the same without you!

    I'd like to do both, but of the two I'd pass on whitewater.

    OK, if we're going to do both we'll need a pretty early start, right?
