Early Lake Mackintosh Paddle, Food Truck lunch @ Red Oak brewery

Paddles wet at 9:00 (arrive by 8:30 see below) to enjoy Lake Mackintosh in Alamance Co. Brisk paddle out to make it up pretty Little Alamance Creek at far left end, break for water and dip (officially no swimming allowed on lake), and then head back to the ramp by 1pm stopping at the old rock quarry on the left. Afterwards we'll lunch at the brewery (1/2 mile away) Brewery has a food truck Dickie Do's Pig Rig 12-8pm scheduled. Worried about being stinky? Good bathrooms at Marina would allow you to change clothes for the brewery.
If your day is busy you don't HAVE to do lunch with us, but we hope you'll join us ;- )
