Scheduled TCT Foxburg Paddle
 

On Sunday, 19 August 2012, we will meet at our "takeout" at the state access area in Parker, PA at 9:00 am. The Parker canoe shuttle service is no longer in business, so we will be handling all our own shuttling, hence the early meet for a twelve noon lunch at Foxburg. I will be using my Six Place Canoe Trailer, or twelve yaks, and would welcome the assistance of another trailer or two to aid in the Shuttle. In years past, this trip has proven to be one of the most attended of our yearly schedule because of great food and scenery as well as consistant water levels in the Allegheny. Club reservations have been made in advance, so to arrive in Foxburg, at the Allegheny Grill at noon, we will be leaving the access area in Emmlenton no later than 10:50. Hope to see everyone there!

It's right next to where Parker canoe shuttle used to be.

Rich,
Pinky and I will not be there because of a change in our plans. Hope to see everyone on the next run.

Can I still go or did we have to sign up in advance?
 

And if I google the location of Parker canoe will my GPS dump me at the right spot? Not sure if coordinates work on my GPS. I'm just going to plan on going and will be bringing a friend that has never paddled before. Thanks, Sue

Sue, the address 311 N. River Ave Parker, PA 16049 will take you there.

To help with the shuttle I'm going to drop my boats and passengers off at the Emlenton put-in. Then meet everyone at parker at 9. We still meet under the 208/38 bridge in emlenton?

What a fun summer run! The weather was nice, the water was clear and the company was great! Lunch in Foxburg is always a pleasure. I felt like a kid jumping off the wall into the river and I know I'm at least 20 years older than most of the other jumpers. And it isn't every trip you see kayakers almost run over by an AIRPLANE !! There should be pictures later.

What a great trip, for me it is a special trip that is always a blast. What makes it better is the great company around me and being able to stop and play around and swim and jump into the water.
Rich did a great job with the trip planning & shuttle. He had all the details covered. Great Job and Rich please let us know when the Grand River is high enough for a side trip!
Got lots of pictures posted

TCT Foxburg Run
 

Thanks Mike for posting the wounderful Pics. Those perfect weather days on the water are so far and few in between, and your Pictures really capture the flavors of the day, must of been taking lesson's from JP. One of my favorite things about this club, is not just the willingness of it's members to participate, but all those who come forward when help is requested. I had requested another trailer to assist in the shuttling, and three trailers show up in addition to my own. A special thanks to Steve Preston who loaded his mini van beyond capcity more than once in the double shuttle.
Twentysix members and seven guests and Rogue (maybe we should consider Rogue and Crash members), on yet another beautiful TCT Foxburg trip. 74 degrees at put-in and 85 degrees at the take-out at Parker. Warm enough to swim but comfortable for the rest without breaking a sweat. In fact, other than the trip leader; being thirty minutes late for unknown reasons, we could not of had a better day. We hit the water at 10:50, and arrived five minutes early for our reservations at noon at the Allegheny Grille. Some of our menbers even purchased wine at the Foxburg Winery for their spouses at home, although it is not known if it actually made it there. Yes, and sadly, making the run were three canoes and twentyeight kayaks.
