It was the first time we have missed a trip in twenty-eight straight Spring/Fall seasons. The only other time we skipped one was right after our first trip - and that was only because we had not yet converted to the twice-a-year format so we didn't really "miss" one at all until now.
The good news is that the trip this Fall will now be a celebration of two things: Trip #30 and the beginning of a new streak. We love recognizing special occasions here at the RRCC. We will probably have a ceremony.
Not because this will be his last. Floyd will be doing river trips forever. It's because it will be Sister's first.
Floyd and Sister will have their own ceremony on the island at the mouth of Cedar Creek. Floyd will ceremoniously pass her the RRCC Orange Dildo.
The section itself is one we have intended to do twice now and never made it. The first time we redirected to the Buffalo (poison ivy / UFO bar) because of flash flood predictions. The second time was when we cancelled last fall. So the planning is all done and you can read about it here:

Except this will be a Friday-Sunday two-nighter so we will put in at Carpenter Bridge on those maps.
Also here are the photos from the Spring 2019 trip to get you in the mood (right click to open a new window if it doesn't work):
