I GUESS we could go... As long as we don't take any short cuts. Gotta be sure the old man doesn't break a hip or get a sudden case of alhizmers and wander off the river.

Harmes, 
I am turning 27, again   I am not sure how many times I have ,, but I'd have to take my shoes off to do the math.
  If  the weather sucks on this side, we will camp on the other side Saturday night.
Sure?

OK,  plans have solidified a bit more, we are heading out tomorrow sometime in the afternoon, should have time for a run in the evening.
  We are going to do at least 2 runs on the upper, and probably hte lower at least once. Depending on the weather, we might head over to the dry side Saturday night, or sunday morning. Probably Sunday morning.
  I am planning on running upper Tumwater, and maybe sack up enough to run a few sections of the main, if someone that knows it well shows up.  Probably not,, I am kinda a wimp 
  What ever the plan is for Sunday we will be meeting at LMS at 930-10.
Scott. I will look for your boat!!  You got in no worries man!!
Harmes, are you gonna be in the area this weekend? If upper Icicle is in, its a posibility also.
  Peace
 See ya
Sure?

probably closer to five thirty actually. I think I might try to get out of work on Sunday. Upper Tum sounds like a blast. Sigh.
