This is the Tues evening on the Sky discussion thread. Please post any questions below.

Remember the actual Trip Details are located on the Tues evening on the Sky | Trip Page

So the Trip Planner DOES work again!!! Here you go! come run the Sky. Here are some details you should know about this trip:<br><br>-We're planning on meeting @ Big Eddy at about 5pm, to drop a shuttle rig at the Take Out (Big Eddy).<br><br>-We're putting in right below Boulder drop, so the beginner(s) in the group don't have to laboriously portage B.D. I however will be running <br>B.D. so if you want to put in above it with me that will be fun. B.D. is <br>fun at low water because you can take a lot of different lines, eddy out all over the place, eddy hop laterally above and below the Picket Fence, and just generally Relish the Rapid like a fine meal to be savored.<br><br>-There will be at least one beginner in the group (with a rock solid roll), who wants to know the lines all the way down to Big Eddy, so if you've run it a bunch and want to show up with a leadership attitude, that would be great (otherwise, plenty of "leadership attitude" will be provided. So if you're a beginner with a "follower attitude", that's totally cool too- hell, you could even get some TOP DOLLAR technique for FREE, if you want it).<br><br>Anyway, that's the basic scenario. try to call me an let me know you're coming. Class II boaters wanting to run more class III are encouraged to come along. You'll be in good hands, with someone who'll actually help you get down the river and watch your technique. You could put in at Split Rock if you're not up to running the class III's from B.D. on down, or, if you're TOO HARD CORE for that below the Railroad Bridge bit, you can take out at Split Rock. The important thing is that you get OUT ON THE RIVER while it has water in it!!<img alt="Hug" src="images/smiley31.gif" align="absmiddle" border="0"><br>
