      Saturday, June 10
      Sunset is 8:35 PM
      Moonrise is 9:28 PM
      We will meet at 6:30 at the Falmouth PFBC boat launch to drop gear and run shuttle. On the river by 7:15. Night vision will adjust as sun sets and we will be at the campfire location well before dark. Launch permits or boat registration is required at the put in.

      We are taking out at a municipal launch at Bainbridge. This is a roughly 3 mile paddle with a very long stop. Timing will depend on the groups fear of the river monsters at night.

      Directions to put-in at Falmouth PFBC launch
      http://binged.it/12kesoF
      Route 441 5.3 miles south of the intersection between Union ST and Main St. in Middletown PA. If your are southbound on 441, there is still a very tired horse along the road on the left just before the PFBC launch entrance.

      In addition to the required pdf, whistle, boat, and paddle(s); a flashlight is required after sunset. This is a white light either hand-held or installed ready to be displayed in time to avoid a collision.

      Bring bug spray, campfire food of choice, and sticks or other means to cook. We are taking a canoe so can accommodate some of those chairs in a bag if you are so inclined. Firewood donations are welcome.

      Please let us know if you plan to join.

      Change of plans. We scouted the trip this evening and the islands are posted now. We will meet for the campfire part at our place and do the full moon paddle later. Call for directions if interested.
