Kayak camping trip JULY 6-8 2012

[cityslicker]

I love the Yoch so I'm down with that. we could drop in below dimple rock. and come out by hazelbakers... that would be a good place to park there in Layton. and just camp wherever we feel like.
Your right the Mon will connect to cheat, but you would be fighting up stream. you could paddle down cheat river to the lake, from up in the MTs. that would be fun, might see some super back country WVyinz tho..

that would be fun, might see some super back country WVyinz tho..

I don't need to go that far, I can see as many back country folks as I want 10 minutes from Greensburg.

Did I kill this thread with my deliverance reference?

[Ragnorox]

Hey!!!! you better not be talking about me.

Did I kill this thread with my deliverance reference?

Yes and no? We were all thinking it, you just said it... either way I think I'd be down for a weekend like this. I'd probably just take the canoe though, since it doesn't sound like we'd be going through anything too rough.

[DMG]

Hey!!!! you better not be talking about me.

Just ask John to leave the banjo at home.

"hardly" being the understatment of the year...

lol

[ridgerunner97]

Please....I still have all my teeth, there is no inbreeding, and I don't have any crazy genetic malformations like the fellas in Deliverance, shit I can't even play a banjo let alone any instrument (insert crude jokes here), but my one brother can play the banjo pretty good

sorry all.... been away for awhile. work sucks!

originally wanted to do cheat lake but i cant find the camping type i want. so that may just be a weekend thing with 1 base camp

june still thinking of yough river trip connelsville to mckeesport. leave out on a friday ... camp 1st night at rivers edge ( others can meet up there) then kayak on down to mckeesport or close as we can by sunday late afternoon. i may even continue to monday if we dont make it to mckeesport by sunday.

jeepsteeler .... the trailer sounds good.... i too have a trailer 6'x8' i can use to transport so maybe we can leave one at our destination and use the other to take all kayaks to connelsville. stack them on and ratch strap them down. we can fit 10-12 kayaks in the trailers easy.

i cant wait .... i need to get out more often.

[cityslicker]

sounds like fun... Don't really want to leave my truck parked in Mckeesport.. check that.. I'm not going to leave my truck parked there...I hate that god forsaken neighborhood. Unless we can park them right near the po po station,, I think their station is right on the river.

[ridgerunner97]

^ I would pull out in little boston and say **** mckeesport. There is a launch right there past the bridge, that is public access, it's not a place I'd be frightened to leave a vehicle, there are EF cops and county mounties cruising through there quite regularly.

[jim91303]

See how many people are gonna go and if not many we could park some place and car pool to connelsville and have a ride picks us up. I can probably get a parking area off rt 51 near70 where the owner has video camera on lot. Maybe meet there and car pool up to Cville.

Still afew months off. I will get a solid plan together closer to the time.

I am thinking June 29- July 1.
Or 6-8
Not sure what all is happening for the 4th yet.

[JeepSteeler]

Sounds like a plan is coming together. June 29-July 1 I think I'll be around, same for 6 - 8. Might be best to start a new thread with a few dates to vote on?

2 trailers - sounds like we'd have the transportation end of things under control then....this warm weather has me wound up to hit the water!!

[jim91303]

Yea when early June I will do a date vote and RSVP LIST

I live near Boston right on the Yough and have canoed every part of that river hundreds of times. If you plan on going from connelsville to mckeesport you better give it more than 2 days or be ready to paddle your ass off. That's a lot longer trip than you think. Especially when the river is as low as it is right now. For two days i go from Witsett to Buena Vista. I gotta work or I'd definitely go. If you need some help planning give me a buzz. I literally know every inch of that river.
