I have a dealer‘s choice for this Sunday. It will be Class 2 or Class 2/3 and in the area of Antietam/Harper‘s Ferry/Point of Rocks. about 10 AM. The Staircase was too low, but the rain is changing things as is the notice from Bob Whiting regarding access. So certain things are in flux. Please call me to get on the interest list. I will try to update later. Beth

Oh, the things you don‘t want to know about when you roll. Are you aware that our local streams, both big and small, are just infested with, yuk, gross, slimy eels? Seriously folks, these fascinating critters thrive in our waterways, and we are pleased this evening to have guest speaker, Matt Rinehimer, wildlife biologist with Maryland DNR, coming to educate us on them. Matt will make the slog from the far corners of Maryland‘s eastern shore for this occasion, so lets give him a crowd‘s welcome.

We meet at 6:00 PM at Anglers, Violettes, Little Falls, or somewhere else, depending on water levels. Check Paddle Prattle for updates.
