Jocelyn & I are going to meet at Oleson Bridge at 9AM for a reverse shuttle. I will have my trailer, so bring a lock & your gear in a duffle bag, in case we need to lock up boats afterwards. We will paddle the rapids but some may want or need to take out at Beitner Park instead. If so, we will drop those cars there before heading up to Brown Bridge Landing (BBL). If you have a cart, bring it for the Oleson Bridge carry. The trip leader will decide who will paddle the rapids. We will scout it before we leave Beitner. It will take approx 1.5-2 hrs to paddle from BBL to Shumsky, 1 hr to Beitner & 10 mins to Oleson Bridge. The river was high this past week, so fast with one low bridge. Don't forget your PFD, paddle, water, snack, bow & stern lines. There will be a short break at Shumsky, so plan to have a late lunch afterwards. Pit toilets are available at BBL,Shumsky & Beitner.
