2009 Armada dates

[PAC]

How does USA Memorial Day look like for everyone - Canadians included, eh?!?! That would be May 23, 24, and 25 for those non-USAers.

Purposed schedule:
Sat. - Cquirt and shop visits on Sat. on Cheat Narrows (LY or Cheat proper for others), moved from Friday of past.
Sun. - North Branch of P Sunday for the Armada (there is a release this weekend) then Strombolis at Foxes Pizza Den - moved from Sat.
Mon. - Jump ball with attendees making the call - options included WISP center, LY (loop or whole), UY (I think there is a release), or if there is water Savage, Stoney Creek, Slippery Rock Creek, Indian Creek, Meadow Run, Big Sandy, etc. etc. etc. based on desires and skills and if somethings is on the road home!

Tandemonium can be delayed to mid summer on the LY if folks thing that is appropriate. Adding it to the mix would really lenghten the weekend so how about a Tan-dam-n-ation to take its place any of the days mentioned above for the weekend.

Hopefully Mike W. will post new vote post shortly but I wanted to get a date out there for folks to think about. Thoughts?

Memorial day weekend would work for me. We could potentially set up a Cheat canyon run for Sunday. Jim

OK, the votes are in. We're having the NBP Armada on Memorial Day weekend (May 23-25). As PAC stated, we'll shift everything out one day since Monday is a holiday in America.

PAC's proposed schedule is what we'll run with, unless there are better ideas. If some are not into getting down in a Cquirt, the NBP will be another option for Saturday.

Camping will be at Robert Craig Campground (the COE campground w/ the nice showers). I've reserved site 77.

I'll see what I can work out with the Missus and the REAL boss in our family (our 3 year-old daughter ). Been real good about rehabbing the knee and staying in the kneeling position does not aggravate the area at all. I should be good to go for boating by Memorial Day weekend, so it's just a matter of working out the logistics (right, PAC and Scott B. ? ).

Yea I'm still in China. It all sounds good to me if it is good for Gonzo as he is my ride!

[the great gonzo]

The date should work for me. Count me in for the Cquirt and the Armada !
Scott, just make sure you'll be back from China by then.
Give me a shout when you get back. There's some boating to be done!

TGG!

[Scott C]

Will do buddy. Might be a month still so I do not have to come back right away.

[the great gonzo]

Scott, his is an unusual year, the HWY 7 runs are already open and have peaked, if we don't get any significant rain, then they'll be done by next weekend !
The way things are looking at a very early and short spring run-off season here in Southern ON .
If you get back in a month most of the action may unfortunately already be over.

TGG!

Martin will you still be coming down for Easter break?
How's Princess Leah doing? Ready for some C-boating yet?

Scott looking forward to Cing you too. Bring your creek'n gear and I think we have a Cquirt boat we can jam ya into!

I would love to come if the NBP run is done on the saturday ... I have to head back on the sunday as my vacation days have already been planned out for 2009 and monday is not a holiday here.

Paul, yes, we're still heading down for Easter.
I'll get in touch with you next week.

The Princess is on the mend as far as I know, she plans on going to a pool session on saturday, apparently ready to practice some C-rolls! I guess she'll be ready for the Armada.
