NOTE: THIS EVENT HAS BEEN DELETED AND WILL BE RESCHEDULED ON A NEW DATE. PLEASE DO NOT SHOW UP AT THE MEETING POINT AT THE PARK.

It's Oktoberfest time and to celebrate. There should be just enough water for a day paddle. Haven't been on the water for a long time with the long hot summer, low water and now hot fall. It was not quite right to do a trip on the Guad right after the big flood, but now it is. Pray for rain.

We are going to meet at Guadalupe State Park. We will float down to Specht's Crossing but might consider floating from Bergheim down to the Park. For now, everyone meet at the State Park put-in boat launch at 9: 00 am to drop boats. At least one person needs to stay with them, we will all drive to Nichols Landing or RV Park at Specht's Crossing to drop cars. You will pay your own park entry fee and take out fees. Bring cash and ones. Other than those, the trip is free if you are listed as a member on the Meetup, $10 if you aren't. Guests of members are free. The park always advises to pre-reserve entry early due to crowds. SUOTW!

We'll find some spots to stop and swim and cool off - and imbibe cooling refreshments. Floating thru rapids with PFD's on can be fun where it is safe too. Plan on lunch on the water.

We will shuttle our own cars but might get a driver's shuttle from the campground if from Bergheim, at cost per person and each will pay their own way. If not, at the end of the trip we will have to take the return shuttle drivers back to their cars - so will need some volunteers for that. If we can take their boats doubled up too, that will certainly help. Other than State Park fees and shuttle fees if applicable that you pay yourselves, the trip is free if you are a member. If not a member on the Meetup list, there will be aa $10 trip fee.
