THURS PADDLE - Anglers to Lock 10 + the Chutes

Let's meet at Lock 10 to set a short auto shuttle at 9:00 sharp. Two paddlers par car. Rules below. We will go up and play briefly in the Chutes, then turn dwnstream and run Offutts and Yellow Falls, both Cl. IIs and Stubblefield, a Cl. II+ - DO NOT JUST SHOW UP.
///
Assuming we get the shuttle set up smartly at Lock 10 - we should be on the water in an hour - by 10:00.  The trip is - 3.5 river miles with (not counting the Chutes) three play rapids.  So roughly 4 hours paddle/play time.  Out at 2 pm - discombobulated by 3 PM
///
Water level at Little Falls predicted at 3.2 ft . Weather forecast is Sunny, with a high near 75. Please dress for the cooler weather. Water temperatures will probably be around 60, so have a warm dry change of clothes in case you take a swim. PFDs and helmets are required. Fuzzy T-shirts and shorts help. Please let us know if you need safety equipment.
