River Dawg Roundup!!!
River Dawg Roundup!!!
Ok folks, we have let the dawgs get fat and lazy the last few years and it's time to wake them up!!!
Saturday and Sunday September 24th and 25th from FM 969 to Fisherman's Park in Bastrop. I will plan for everyone there at 9:00 and then shuttle vehicles to the park with a shuttle back for a few dollars each. I will ask for commitments next week for shuttle numbers about Wednesday or Thursday.

Re: River Dawg Roundup!!!
Hirsch - I'm just going by google maps - when you say fm 969 are you talking about where the rv park is? How much river would you be covering total?
thanks -

Re: River Dawg Roundup!!!
Yes that is the start point. The total run is about 13 miles. About 8 miles to the Big Island (shown as Scout Island on some maps) and a 5 mile paddle coming out the second day.Chief Brody wrote:Hirsch - I'm just going by google maps - when you say fm 969 are you talking about where the rv park is?

Re: River Dawg Roundup!!!
Sounds good to me. Look forward to seeing everyone.
Re: River Dawg Roundup!!!
I think I'm going to camp at Bastrop State Park the night before. I'm not sure if I will have company, or not. Anyone else is welcome to join me.

Re: River Dawg Roundup!!!
Man. I haven't got my yak on the water at all in over a year, maybe two. Sure wish I could make this one, but I'm swamped at work right now.
Y'all have fun and take lots of pictures! Maybe I'll get laid off from work and suddenly have the time to go

Re: River Dawg Roundup!!!
River flow at Bastrop is currently 810 cf/s. It should be good.

Bastrop State Park. Water only tent sites are all that was available.
The section is called Deer Run.

Re: River Dawg Roundup!!!
I will call and start arranging the shuttle tomorrow. Right now I am planning on half a dozen people, but there will be room to adjust. Let me ask everyone planning on going to post up in the next day or two.
I have DNR, beekeeper, RiverRover x2, and myself as committed. As possibles I have Cruisinsexy, Eric Todd, Firefly and Chief Brody. Please post up if you wish to join or now know you will be in. We will need someone to guard canoes and equipment at the bridge while the vehicles are being shuttled.
Thanks

Re: River Dawg Roundup!!!
Sorry Paul, forgot to tell you I changed my name on here a while back. cruisin = Eric! I had to sell my Coosa HD so now i'm just cruisin in my wife's yak I'm just glad it's not pink and purple! Still trying to decide on whether or not to gamble with the weather.
Re: River Dawg Roundup!!!
The Colorado River flow rate at Bastrop is 750 cf/s. The forecast is showing milder temps. Maybe a spot shower. Should be fine.
Re: River Dawg Roundup!!!
Shuttle has been arranged. It will be $40 split by the number of vehicles plus a tip for the driver.
Re: River Dawg Roundup!!!
Firefly and I will also be there. I will be in a red Toyota Tacoma.beekeeper wrote:Tomorrow, I will reserve a camp site at Bastrop State Park. If anyone is interested, ....

Sorry you can't make it Rod.
Re: River Dawg Roundup!!!
After watching the weather two days I see a 50% chance of scattered storms so I am calling the trip a go!!!
Re: River Dawg Roundup!!!
Good! If the weather blows in a little rough, we'll burrow into something.
Pretend we're noodling, diggin' to China, or something.
