WOW is all I can say. What a perfect trip, on a day that was beautiful.
Second largest TCT trip since I been in the club. We had 36 boats with 40 paddlers and one doggie (Rogue).
On the down side kayaks out numbered the canoes. 4 Canoes, 1 Paddle Board, 1 two person kayak , 1 Whitewater playboat, & 29 kayaks.

With a group this big everything worked out great. Meeting in Emlenton and doing the shuttle to parker was super easy!!.

Once on the water we had on flip, but a good lesson was learned about current and tree's. A nice and easy scenic float to foxburg made a great start as we got to foxburg 10 minutes early.

After a great meal and walking around foxburg the group split up. Some paddle to take out while a good size group stopped at the confluence of the Alleghany and Clarion for some swimming and jumping off the bridge abutment.

After that it was a nice and easy float down to parker.

It was so nice to see so many new members come out for a great paddle and put faces with names. The real surprise for me was seeing two of our long time members.
Paul Issac made the float in his whitewater playboat, and got some nice pratice with cartwheels and rolls.
Matt Brady came up from Harrisonburg VA. He brought with him his paddling partner Rogue. Matt was our one paddleboarder and Rogue got a nice ride.

Matt is the only TCT member who lives in Virgina.

Again thank you to all who came and for letting me know if you weren't going to stop and swim.
GREAT TRIP!!
