The gang hasn’t been able to put together a trip since Sep 2010. My wife and I go for a week each summer with our children and grandchildren.

We hope the gang will be able to resume trips soon, but health issues, family responsibilities, and other problems have kept us from going as a group lately.

Thanks for checking in with us, Jon………

We all have Coleman inflatables. On our part of Blackriver we only cover about 5 miles total 2 1/2 upstream and 2 1/2 down from where we setup camp. We usually take a truck up or down in morning then take about 3 / 4 hours for the trip. We then load up the deflated kayaks and drive back to camp. We take our time and enjoy fishing, swimming, sightseeing and refreshments.
As far as carrying our gear; refreshments is the only gear we carry. We travel lite and have a lot of fun for 4 guys that are now 60+ years young! We still make 2 or three trips a year lasting for 3 to 4 days.
Appreciate your comment, Radar

It looks like your kayaks are inflatable. What is the brand name? How do you get all your gear downstream with those small boats? Do you use a larger ‘Mother Ship’ for the chairs and cook pots and all?

What is your entry point?

What is your exit point?

How many miles/days do you cover?

Thanks, Davy at 20100318.

I agree with Groucho Marx when he said, “I don’t know if I want to belong to a group that would have someone like me as a member”. Just kidding – have enjoyed every single minute of every trip (with possible exception of the Rainbow Peoples BONGO drums). Munchkin
