It's Demolition Time in Tennessee!
Kirk will be driving the RRCC car again at the Wilson County Fair this Saturday the 21st at 7:00 pm. Pre-race ritual requires us to meet at Brown's beforehand so if you want to ride out together let's gather there about 4:30 Saturday.

Fall Trip Teaser
"In my opinion, one has only matured in the sport of paddling when you can discover as much adventure in exploring a swamp or marsh by canoe as in running whitewater or traveling to far-off lands." -Ralph Frese, Chicagoland Canoe Base

Exile on the Buffalo
We interrupt this summer to bring you two important offseason announcements.
First, in the biggest RRCC development since the kitchen fire, Brown's is building an outdoor patio.
Right next to the Citgo dumpster and already popular with the homeless population.
What this means to the RRCC is that after 3 smoke-free years, ready-rolls are back at Brown's, just like the first 85 years. Since we were there for the last day of smoking indoors (Link, Link, Link), we should be on the patio for the first day of smoking outdoors. Watch for a Grand Opening date soon.
Secondly, in the very same year the Stones released the Exile on Main Street outtakes, some secretly recorded and previously unreleased "Jack and The Root Balls" bootlegs have surfaced from a late night session on the Buffalo River. Very late night.
Follow the links, then click play:
"I Know You Think I'm the One Who Cut the Wood"
"Go High"
"Sometimes She Forgets"
"I'm Glad I'm a Man"
"That's Good Stuff There, Buddy"

Meeting is Tomorrow
Don't forget the Post-Trip Meeting is tomorrow (Thursday, May 6) at 7:00 pm upstairs at Savarino's.
In addition to the usual activities or lack thereof we will be conducting a Trucker's Hitch clinic to address what some of you politely described as a "bottleneck" at the take-out. The general rule has always been: whoever's pulling the trailer ties down the canoes. But we will now train an elite force of knot tie-ers who are willing to take the time and effort necessary to master the Trucker's Hitch ("Lorry Hitch" if you're Ian) and can help tie down the boats. If you want to get certified, start by reviewing the instructions previously posted here: CLICK.
Meanwhile, our asset management group reports that the RRCC investment in the Kentucky Derby was painfully close but ultimately resulted in a net gain of approximately zero dollars, plus or minus zero.
Pete successfully picked Super Saver, who won it all, but missed the second half of the exacta with Lookin' At Lucky when Pride passed him on the backstretch with Heartache a-goin' to the inside.

So instead of dinner at the Four Seasons in Manhattan next trip we'll just be paddling to Joe's Crab Shack downtown.
