Ok, everyone.

Due to circumstances out of my control I am left to advise those that want to do this run the following:

1. I will NOT be attending by boat. I will meet everyone at Tims 1 in Dumfries by car. Say around 12:00 or so !!!
2. As far as debris, trash, and whatever else is floating in the river I am leaving the run north up to those that are coming by boat.
3. If there are those that still want to head north I will meet you all at Old Town later in the day.
4. If we have decide to just hang at Tims 1 for the day, that's cool too.

Let's be safe and smart in our decisions and see what comes our way on Saturday.

We went out last Sat afternoon/evening to Colonial Beach from Gilligan's. Saw some smaller debris and dirty water.
Not much more than ordinary or for concern. Now a week later I'm sure some of what was up north has made it down to our area, but don't know first hand.

But if you go to Gilligans watch out for the palm tree on the north side of the dock and keep an eye on your depth on that side too. The creek washed away the end of the "island" and deposited a lot of it behind the lifts.

I'm still going, and I will be sticking to the original schedule for anyone that wants to tag along. I'll see everyone at Tim's II. My cell is 540-273-0669 for anyone that needs it.

I honestly think the river is cleared up just fine.

I was down by the river in Ft. Washington a few hours ago. The tide was going out fast and there was a pretty steady flow of junk in the water. Keep your eyes open!

With the props you are running, if you hit something it might make them look better.

I was out on the Potomac at Tim's 1 and 2 yesterday. Trash was everywhere between and at both places.

I may forgo the Tim's II stop and head straight to Tim's I as it's in the opposite direction for me. I'm not sure if anyone was planning on meeting down at Tim's II, as it seems like everyone is meeting at Tim's I. If anyone would like me to meet them at Tim's II however, I'd be glad to do so, just give me a call 540-273-0669
