    About a week away, anyone else going? I'm not sure if I can make if Friday or early Saturday morning now. May be working out of state Friday and getting back too late to go. I'm still going to shoot for Friday though.

    You know you can still go. The place we are using to transport us up river rents canoes and kayaks too.

    Love floating that area. Hubby and I have a 16' Old Town Predator Canoe. We float that area when we have a free weekend and camp on the islands. Beautiful sights and good fishing! Make sure to keep your eyes to the air for the eagles.

    The last few years I have seen eagles every trip. There's even a nest across the river from Eagle Rock.

    Dana, do you have a detailed plans for this trip confirmed yet? I am looking to get an idea of when I am leaving, where I am going, and if there are any special needs for this trip...

    Dana's taking care of the details / making reservations at the kayak place as far as I know. I'm going up friday afternoon. Bill, I'll send you and anyone else going a link to a private custom google map that has the camping location marked, along with some other area attractions. I don't want to post it publicly b/c I want to keep the location of the private land private obviously.

    As far as special needs, you just need a tent. A shotgun w/ medium-large game slugs is a good idea too (there was a bear in the yard friday morning last weekend). About 2-3mi away from the camping location is state game lands bear / nuisance bear release location. So, take take it for what it's worth. They usually stay away, but sometimes they get curious. All food / coolers with food must be locked in a vehicle at night. We usually burn most garbage in the fire as well to avoid a full garbage bag that would attract any unwanted visitors.

    There's a fire pit already built. Extra firewood is always helpful. BYOB - there are a ton of drive thru beer distributors in the area and 2 bars that sell 6 packs. We'll stop at the local grocery store after kayaking on saturday to pick up food. Friday I'm just going to go to the local bar/restaurant that has cheap/decent food. There is no outhouse on the property. The far corner of the yard is the designated piss location, for anything else, bring a small shovel and find a suitable place in the woods up the road a little to take care of business.

    PM me that map so I can get an idea on when to leave. I am good with the rest. I am not sure when I am heading up. It is Mustang Night at the Wexford Car Cruise this Friday, so that is tempting too... I am off on Friday, so I may just head up with you.

    Decisions, decisions...

    The reservation is set for 4 to be shuttled up river to Bonnie Brae for around 10:00-10:30 on Saturday. We need to bet there by 10 at the Outback Adventure place. She wants us to park up on the hill by the little shop/building where you check in.

    Bill, the meeting point is the Outback Adventure place listed on the map Mike sent you. I'm camping Saturday night for sure and hoping to leave early Friday to camp that night as well. I should know here in a little bit if I can leave Friday.

    I'm probably going up a different way than you but Mike would head up the same way since he lives in Washington.
