Hi Jennifer, I have this trip on my calendar.  Please let me know the when and where.  Thanks, Lisa  lbaer@embarqmail.com

Glad to have you along Lisa.

I am planning an afternoon trip meeting at the Marysville launch at 1pm.  We will set a shuttle then ferry across to the east side for the drop off the Rockville ledge then work our way down to Wade Island.

We can not land at Wade Island but will drift past giving us a view of all that is going on. 

The river will be on the high side but unless we get a lot of rain between now and then it shouldn't be too high.

Good morning Jennifer,  I might be interested in doing this.  Can I let you know Friday?  Kathy

[Jennifer]

Kathy,
There is no problem with letting me know Friday. Keep an eye on the river levels.

Jennifer,

I would like to go with you on this trip. I've canoed the Susquehanna, but never kayaked on it. Sounds like a good trip to get experience with my rec kayak and see the sights.

The river is over 6 ft. and not likely to go below that before Saturday. Because of this & because there are some less experienced paddlars who want to make the run, I am postponing it until the level drops.  If the level gets down, how about an evening run?
