Tempesr 130 ?

Hurricane Tempest 130 ??

Hurricane Tampico 130 maybe? This is a nice kayak. The lines and chines look like it would be a good handling kayak. I like to carve curves and maneuver around. I'd...

K & C rsvp = yes

We've had all kind of weather for this event... from just shirts to 4" of snow. I think we've had wet and muddy, but maybe not rain. The forecast is apt to change in the next 4-5 days.

K & C...

Nice Up and Back Paddle

What a nice day for a paddle. A bit cool at 50° but sunny and no wind. Can't beat that for mid-November! I thought we had a pretty good turnout with 4 canoes and 5 kayaks... 10 paddlers total. We...

We will be coming.

Anyone know if there is a potty there? Just wondering... it's an hour and a half ride for us. There's never been one there in past years.

A Longer Boat

Ed,
I have a friend that will sell you a 27 foot Voyager. You could skew the counting quite a bit with that! Then, if you also take into account how many paddlers were in canoes you really get a...

Nice Paddle

K & C enjoyed this paddle. A nice cool fall day. I was impressed with how clear the river was in this stretch. We could see the bottom at 3-4 ft depth.

There was a bit of an occasional light...

1.72 ft at noon Friday

River is dropping .02" to .03" per day.
You ---might--- make it above 1.60 ft yet by Sunday.

Unfortunately, the 2 1/2 hour drive will keep K & C from attending.

I've done this twice. Once at...

6.5 to 6.9 ft range.

There were several high water spikes between 2014 & 2023. All were in the range of 6.5 to 6.9 ft. Maybe all the gates were opened?

This would still qualify as a raging river in my book. ...

It's been 35 years since we paddled this section of French Creek. That was an overnight trip. Early May I think. The first day ended with a major (scarry) thunderstorm about 15 minutes after we...
