Row the Poudre this weekend?

[JBL]

Any of you rafters out there interested in running Upper or Lower Rustic (or both) on Saturday? Looking for a few other oar rigs to run with.

[leery]

I'm taking a paddle raft down the upper rustic on saturday. You're welcome to join us in the oar rig.

I predict a small swarm of kayakers to be following us down as well.

I was planning on oaring upper and lower Mish on Saturday and Sunday. Never have done Rustic how is it? If its not to hard I would be game.

[leery]

i've only done the upper rustic at this level....its pretty much 9 miles of Class III+. Water is chilly and fast. A nice break if you've done the lower sections a lot.

Leery - what time are you putting on? Have you run this stretch before? This year?

Ecarlson - From what i've read/heard/seen (never rowed it), Rustic is easier than Upper Mish. Upper Rustic

[leery]

we're still putting the details together, but I'm guessing we'll put on around 10 or 11.

Count me in. I was really planning to get over my fears and run Pine View on Saturday but I guess that willl have to wait until Sunday.

Im not real familar with that area and where the put in is. Maybe we could meet at Teds Place and head up the hill

[JBL]

Dude - I'd love for you to join. I think Leery is talking about a swarm of kayakers with him so the more the merrier.

Leery - I could be at Steven's Gulch (I come the back way from Lyons) by 10:30-11am. We could head up from there.

I trailer my rig so I'd pretty much be ready to launch as soon as we get to the put-in.
