January Monthly Member Float

by aminx on January 25, 2012

This month’s member float is being hosted THIS WEEKEND (Jan 28) by Dawn Whitener on the Buffalo River. This will be a Saturday day-float with camping at the take-out so everyone is close to their gear, blankets, and extra clothes! Show up Friday to camp with the early birds or come down early Saturday to catch the shuttle. Allen Moore is on deck with firewood, so everyone is sure to keep warm for this one. Our trusty float leader is keeping us in the loop on the OMP Meetup page, so check there for the latest and greatest information on this month’s member float.
