Colorado River Dawgs 4th Annual Fall Run

[Hirsch]

I have received several inquiries so am announcing early that I am planning this years run for September the 27/28. Everyone mark their calendars.

[beekeeper]

Put me down for the trip. This will be my first kayak trip this year.

[Dogpaddlin]

Might come spend a day with you guys, but wife will be 8+ months el prego so I don't think I will be spending the night

[Hirsch]

Bee Keeper, will be glad to see you again.

Dogpaddling, I would like to see you join us.

[Dogpaddlin]

What stretch are you planning on running?

[Hirsch]

I am not sure yet. We have always run the stretch from 969 to Bastrop. But DNR tells me Hog Island is bigger than ever and can handle a large groups so I may set it for 973 to Little Webberville. That may just require I sacrifice and do a scouting trip in August or early September!!!

[Hirsch]

Any trip I announce in advance is an Open Invite and newcomers are always welcome!!!

I would really like to join ya'll. I've been wanting to do this for a long time. I'm in the process of getting my wife a kayak, but was curious if mine will work on a trip like this. I have the native propel.

Just put one of my pictures in a chair so I can be there

you may have a little trouble loading all the gear in it unless you're really creative or a really primitive camper who doesn't take much! just remember everything needs to have some sort of water protection in case you turtle on your first trip biggest thing is get all your gear together in the garage and see what all you can get in there and try moving stuff around until it fits (hopefully it'll be somewhat level or you'll be leaning alot!)

[Basscat77]

I think I'm gonna go with the cuda12. It will probably be more feasible for a trip like this. Thanks for the input.

no problem, you'll have better luck with the cuda 12. I've at least seen a couple on past river trips that made it to the take out just plan and pack it ahead of time. the launch is not the place to figure out your gear won't fit how you thought!

Probably the best Idea. I thing you may find enough shallows to make the propulsion system a hassle.

I'll go in the hat as a maybe..... My youngest is facing brain surgery. We have plans on a October surgery as of now, however we have to work around the surgeons schedule. Could really use this trip.....

[Hirsch]

I hope all goes well for your child!!!

[t100]

Thanks Paul!

[M.saxatilis]

Hirsch: I will be there

[Cruisin_Cuda]

sorry to hear that T hope everything works out well! i'll go ahead and put me and the mrs down for a strong maybe!

[rodloos]

Yeah, I don't think it's worth trying to bring a propulsion system, not enough depth.

I have a Hobie Outback but bring my Native Ultimate for camping.


Tell Milret if he starts paddling now from Turkey, he can make it here in time to join us!

I'll have used up nearly all of my vacation by end of August, so I probably won't be able to take off work the Friday before, but at least right now it looks like I could make it, if my health holds up.
Gotta remember to renew my fishing license before the trip.

[Fishinintx]

I will try to make it with my Gf. Xfactor won't be too big will it?

[Hirsch]

Fourteen feet should not be a problem.

[BOPGUNNER]

Put me and my brother the snake wrangler Mike down.

[beekeeper]

Snake wrangler? Something eventful must have transpired. Will he talk about it?

[BOPGUNNER]

Our first trip down. A snake tried to get in his kayak with him in it. The other kayaker were fishing and did not see the snake until Mike was hitting the water with his paddle trying to keep his kayak to his self....... so the rest of the trip he practice his snake wrangler move to make sure he could protect the fishermen. So the story goes....

I was right behind him and that snake was almost in his boat...went right for him it was out in the middle of river also.. what was freaky was seeing that snake heading right for him and not stopping
