   Does anyone know the local AW contact for around here?   
I think it would be cool to have some flyers/membership sheets available for those that haven't joined or aren't familiar with the organization. They are a stand-up organization and need all the support they can get. 
  
  
p.s.  James, why does the font size change after the first carriage return?

   Hey folks-
  I'm coming out from NC for the ball. I was able to make it a work trip so it would look a little funny if I brought a boat with me. Anyone have one I use for the weekend? I'll bring everything else.
  Really looking forward to my first Western whitewater - and some killer chili-
  Dan

   Sir - A beggar can't be a chooser - I'll take what I can get. I'm 5'7 and 170.  I'm thinking I don't want to be pushing the envelope on this trip. My regular creeker is a Burn and I'm not the biggest play boater - I still keep my pro-zone for the Gauley and Ocoee. 
  I'll just be grateful for a boat and I'll paddle what I'm comfortable with in it. It'll be a good time no matter what-

   You will have options for Sure dp. 
 
I have an Air 55 and a Jefe that I will be bringing. You could use
either one, of course hopefully the Air will be fixed back up by then!

   Thanks for the offers everyone - I'll get into WA on Friday and rent a mini-van to drive out and camp in. I guess we'll hook up that night around the campfire or Sat morning and work out the boats. 
  I'm really looking forward to it - thanks again for being so open and helpful.

   Sven - Go to the Trip Page and check out the list of Rivers under where it says Rivers were after.  ProfessorPaddle Ball Trip Pagedp - if you arrive on Friday head on out and I will be at the group site that night. The big bash is not until sat, but there will be some folks doing a little pre game warm up for sure. If you get out early on Friday like around 3-4 we will most likely still be boating but the campsite is ours all weekend so I will have it setup friday morning. If you need directions check out the Maps on the Trip Page. There are 3 of them. ~J

   Hey, is this kind of a private party or are you guys open to some people new to the whitewater kayak scene? We've got a few rivers and some classes under our belt, but that's about it. Plus we can help out with whatever the party needs. Especially beer consumption.

   It's not private at all, especially if you have beer.  Seriously, come on out, there will groups running everything from class II+ to V all weekend so your sure to find someone to run with.

   Cool. We were looking through the threads and it looked like the only thing that was really needed was fire wood. Is there anything else that would be good for the whole crew?

   Yo Bronkrdr - How did the Manequin go... If you hook it up let me know so I can bring the trash boat and paddle.  
 
If you can't hook up the manny extra ice for the keg would be a good thing too.

   In prep for this weekends events please join this trip if your coming to the Ball. 
  This is going to help us determine how many Burgers Ribs etc... to buy and how to arrange for parking and camping.
  So if your coming on Sat for the Cook off and Camping Join up so your in the general head count. I'm sure we will have enough to go around but it would be nice to be accurate.
  Thanks and Hope to see you out there.
