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 got to camp.
The next morning was about 35°. We set out paddling in sleet and wind! The trip leader had the foresight to spot a car about half way to take out. It was up a steep incline to road but we bailed out. It must have been a GREAT trip as we are still talking about it!

K & C were hoping to come. With a pit stop and food it's close to 2½ hour drive for us. Paddling in rain may not stop us but with a long drive (X 2) we are unsure. Groan. Will watch the weather. ---KenM
