Our members have asked that when you send me your write-up for the paddle that you
please when possible include as many of the following items as you know.
:Is there a parking or launch fee if so how much or about how much.
:Are there toilets at the launch or take-out or do they need to seek facilities before arriving
at the launch area.
:Please rate your paddle as Hard - Medium - or Easy
:Is the paddle downstream - upstream - both.
:Is there a shuttle.
:Some members would like the option of going out to eat after a paddle.
This is always optional and the tc is not obligated to choose the place and does not have
to participate. Just mention the option so members may plan to bring money to pay for
the meal. Members who wish to eat can decide where, on or after the paddle.
