So, plans are for 4th of July weekend to do a two-nighter boating, hiking, fishing, whatever in the BSF gorge.
Actual plans will obviously depend on water level, who can attend, and what everyone wants to do. My preference would be to boat the BSF gorge to Honey Creek where we'll set up camp, next day do hiking, more boating, fishing, or whatever from that spot, and last day float the rest of the gorge out and head home.
Brother John is getting married later in July so this will be the greatest sendoff to 30 years of bachelordom.
Back up plans for unfortunate low water on the BSF may include playin with the crowds at the Pigeon River and the Smokies, French Broad and the Appalacian Trail, New River and the New River Gorge.
Who's in?
]]>I left a pair in the RV. Did you find them?
]]>Being that this is our first trip down an unfarmiliar river I was wondering if anyone in the area wanted to come to. Maybe point us in the right direction, and give us a few pointers. We were planning on drinking a few at one of the distileries or at the bar after the trip, so I'd be happy to buy a few beers as payment.

Also note, that when you start a new topic here on the forum, that topic is automatically tweeted and facebooked on the Bardstown Boaters pages.
I've also added our Twitter stream to the homepage in the sidebar.
]]>Paddle Pickup
We will try to paddle from Maud, the burg or Manton if the water flow is up. Low water cleanup will be from 49 to the fairgrounds.
Justin will be in contact with the Boy Scouts of America.
We need to lineup a trailer.
Jay will be buying one or two canoes with last years funds.
We will reuse left over t-shirts from last year for new volunteers.
Tim will have the flyer ready mid march.
Danielle is setting us up with some water education folks who will cross promote the event.
Kenny will talk with Dean about the dumpster.
We also unveiled the whitewater park cost estimates and drawings. Everyone liked what they saw. The city will recieve them next and we will pursue the next steps with their guidance.
]]>It's located at 814 Cherokee Road which is right across from Cave Hill Cemetery where Cherokee crosses Baxter and turns into Broadway.
Here's the link to the thread for anyone who is a Viking and wants to attend the event on Friday:
