Tomorrow we will do the Little Falls loop. This is a step up from what we have been doing. Class III and a bit. Meet at lock 5 at 5:00 PM and the Lock 6 put in at 5:45 PM. Most of the folks who have paddled with us this summer have the skills. No newbies or very little kids please.......................... For the past few decades there has been a club(s) trip on Wednesday evenings. Most often from Anglers to Lock 10 (class 2 +). We meet at Lock 10 (first one downstream of beltway)at 5:30 PM to set shuttle to Anglers, put in around 6 PM. Take off before dark. Sometimes we do the Violette's Lock loop. Toward August we switch to Little Falls (class 3 +)as the level drops. You don't have to belong to a club but we will try to talk you in to joining one. This is a perfect trip for winter pool session graduates. You need to be able to wet exit or take a bow rescue (ideally roll). All must wear PFD's and helmets, open boaters put it on in rapids. All boats must have flotation to facilitate recovery. There are usually experienced paddlers with us to teach and rescue you (and me). The only other thing is a willingness to take direction. I will post here on Tuesday PM or Wednesday to communicate the plan.
