Itinerary

Itinerary description:

This event will occur on Sunday, April 27th, the day after Bill Ness' paddle of the Moira River. Those people joining Bill on April 26th are welcome to join us to camp the night of the 26th at a campsite on Gull Lake, just across from where we meet at 10am at the Hwy 15 Bridge across Gull Creek. Anyone wishing only paddle the Upper Salmon is welcome. Anyone wishing to skip the camping and go to a Motel/Hotel in Tamworth, is also welcome.
Bring a lunch and be prepared to be on the water until maybe 5 pm (likely earlier)

Required Items to Bring:

You MUST have a complete wetsuit or legitimate drysuit, helmet, PFD, and whitewater boat (complete with bailers and floatation bags). If you are camping you should bring tent and cold weather sleeping bag and rain gear.
More details of this will be provided as the group comes together, with the use of a planning spreadsheet (you will be expected to complete your portion of it).
