The reviews for that Kayak are pretty good, so I just may end up getting it.

If I were rich, I'd get a few of these:

The clear bottom allows you to see that upcomming rock that will shatter your expensive new kayak.

Well it definitely will happen this year. It happens every year. ;)

May 3rd is the tentative date this year. Actually I'm about 90% sure we'll go that day.
Anyone reading this is welcome to come. All the details from last year (at the beginning of this topic)
remain the same for this year. Unless Adventure Calls prices have changed, which I haven't checked yet.

Saturday May 3rd will definitely be rafting day this year. Anyone reading this is welcome to come, just let me know. Cost is $30 each and there are other costs for various other optional things you can rent. (wetsuit, wet socks, etc.) Take a look at http://www.adventure-calls.com/rafting.html for all the details. If you scroll down on that page a bit, you'll see they're offering something new this year in that we can get a rafting/barbecue package for a few dollars more. If enough people are interested, I may ask Kevin from Adventure Calls to fire up the grill for us. :)

As we get closer to May, we'll work out more details such as carpooling and getting a down payment for our trip to Adventure Calls. (They normally ask for 50% to hold the spot.)

We'll be in the water in only 2 months!
