A few final items.

The cooks have filed the menu just before the deadline and it looks amazing:

The moon phase report looks just as good as the menu:

The full moon will rise Saturday at 6:07 pm and set at 5:30 am which means it should be at its apex and provide maximum light for a 1:00 am dinner.

The river gauges just turned down after the effects of the big rain last weekend and river levels look great, too.  I think the rain will have washed out the stagnant old pools from the drought and will give us a little extra water to keep from dragging.  Could be perfect.

Oh, and one more thing you should know.

This is at River Mile 166 just downstream from our Friday night camp:

The sign is real; no idea if the danger is.  I've never seen it actually happen, but we've got 10 canoes so somebody's bound to lose the game of air purge roulette.  With the Hardison Mill dam rapids first thing Friday and this first thing Saturday, it's a good thing we bought an extra large coffee pot.

Ok, that's it. Meet at my house at 7:00 am or at the put-in about 8:30.   Pack for a 50-degree temperature swing:  mid-80's Friday afternoon and mid-30's Saturday night.   Going to be a good one.
