Afternoon PADDLE ON THE BEAUTIFUL SALT RIVER
Details
IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ: Although this paddle begins at 1:00 PM, you’re welcome to join us earlier for an easy hike from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM at the same location (Blue Point Recreation Site). These are two separate events.

## Let’s Do the Salt!
Paddle Meeting Point: Blue Point Recreation Site — Meet at 1:00 PM sharp
Take-out Point: Phon D Sutton Recreation Site: https://share.google/bDpnaLHwqmKE0pNMZ
Please plan to arrive a bit early so you have time to inflate your kayak or paddleboard. We’ll begin our shuttle at 1:15 PM to Phon D and aim to be on the water by 1:45 PM at Blue Point.
For the shuttle, a few vehicles will drive to Phon D, drop off some cars, and bring all drivers back to Blue Point.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Ideally, some paddlers can meet at Phon D (Perhaps around 12:30 pm) first and shuttle up to Blue Point, which saves us from having to shuttle back and forth at 1:15.
If you can meet there, please post your time. On Saturday, I’ll message everyone to coordinate who’s willing.
