About this event
We are posting this trip to make up for not being able to paddle the Boardman this past Saturday. The water level and discharge have returned to normal levels, so we'll be able to see whatever debris exists (we hope there won't be much). This way we can actually pick stuff up, and can still run a safe trip for whoever wants to assist in the effort.
Note: we plan to run the shuttle at 1:30. Bring your usual paddling gear and a grabber stick. If you don't own one, I have a couple of extras - let me know if you need to borrow one. Don't forget ropes for the bow and stern of your boat. I will bring a few big trash bags; please bring some small ones.
Boardman (Shumsky)

From the east side of TC, get to the corner of Garfield and River Road, and head west on River Road. Go about 3 miles, and turn left on Shumsky Road; take it about ½ mile to the DNR access site on the right.
