I can't believe its already mid August. Looking to do another camping/kayaking trip up near Tionesta again. Right now planning on the weekend of August 31st-Sept 2nd.
As before, we will have free primitive camping on some private property.
Camp Friday night, kayak on Saturday, camp Saturday night, and head home Sunday.
We will meet here (http://www.outbackadventurespa.com/index.html) on Saturday morning. You can rent a kayak there if you don't have one. If you have your own its $20 for hauling your stuff up river. They will take us up river as far as we want to go. There are places along the way to stop and grab some adult beverages if you want to. Lots of great scenery and places to get out and stretch.
I think we will do a 15 mile trip this time.

Well the only other weekend I can go would be labor day weekend. Does that work for you?
Actually, for that trip I could make it happen. What about the rest of the participants?

I haven't made a camping trip yet this summer, how much does it cost to rent a kayak? I'm pretty sure I'll be in with Austin

For two kayak rentals from Tidioute back to the starting point is $90 total. Let me know for sure if you're going to do this and I'll reserve two kayaks for you when I call them next week.

I should know by tonite, I just have to make sure Austin can get the time off.
Thanks!
Edit: I will know tomorrow, Austin was supposed to work but, they are seeing if they can adjust his schedule for him.

Dana can you also bring two silver PGHOffroad Stickers with you? I would prefer golden triangles but, if you only have the plain silver I won't complain (too much)
Thanks!!!!!!!
What time is everyone meeting? Friday night? Saturday? What is the plan?

I'm going to Southington Offroad for the "Ohio Offroad Experiance"
If you're up for a cold October float, I'll try to make it!
I am not going to make it but if anyone wants to borrow a kayak to go they can use my spare that Bill has, unless he is using it.
If I need to bring the extra kayak and gear please let me know.

Hey Bill if you have it to Bring, it would save us from having to rent both. I'd appreciate saving a few bucks? But, if it would be too tedious it wont be an issue.

Tedious is Bill's middle name.

It should be Tedious but it really is...
A secret.

See, I always thought Bill was just like you know...Madonna or Prince, and his name was just simply Bill. No Middle Name..No Last name, just a statement. Bill

What is this "plan" you speak of???
I'm heading up in the afternoon tomorrow to the campsite. I should be there by 3:30 -4:00. Are you familiar with Tionesta at all? Do you think you can get there without getting lost? :)
I'll send you a PM with the details and directions.
Alley
08-30-2012, 08:05 PM
I work until 5.... I have no idea where Tionesta is, I'm sure I will get lost...

Are you coming up Friday night? Did you get the PM?
Alley
08-30-2012, 09:17 PM
Yup, planning to head up Friday soon as I get home and loaded. Got the PM ... do my best not to get lost.

Cell phone is really spotty up there and just about non existent at the camp site. You're not that far away so it should not take you too long to get there. Try and send me a text when you're get to Tionesta so we can look for you on the main road. The campsite road is not marked too well.
I will be heading up this afternoon as well. I will bring the extra kayak, paddle, and vest.
I am soooooooo looking forward to this weekend. I need a break!
Oh, Mike... is this going to be an event that requires a long gun, or are handguns acceptable protection this time? If you are bringing that shotgun again I hope you brought a bigger tent.
Alley
08-31-2012, 09:26 AM
Probably make it there sometime after 8, gotta pick up a few more things! I'm always waiting until the last minute
I forgot I have a particularly huge tent its like 18X18 or something I hope there is room for it??
There will be plenty of room. Mike tends to bring a tent that looks like it would only fit a preschooler or maybe a small dog, but the rest of us brought tents you can actually move around in.
Alley

Terrific, since I'll be coming late if you guys forgot anything and need me to grab something let me know. I'm not sure who has my number anymore its Seven - Two - Four - 992- Four - Four - Four - Five
If we follow the same plan from last trip, tonight will be dinner at Cougar Bob's. Tomorrow we will get up, grab Subway for breakfast and lunch, and then fire up the grill for dinner tomorrow night. At least that is the plan that I am working on.

That sounds good to me. We need to be at the kayak place around 9:30 so we need to get up earlier than lat time.
Cougar Bob's is open till 10:30. I'm guess we'll eat around 7:30 or 8 so if you're close Danielle you can make it.
I am leaving my house now. Have to drop the dog off and then I will head that way. Looks like no Cougar Bob's for me tonight.
