SUMMARY:HCKC--Mississinewa Seven Pillars (Nov 4\, 2017)
DESCRIPTION:https://hoosiercanoeandkayakclub.wildapricot.org/event-2465218 \nThe Miami Nations of Indians of the State of Indiana say: The Seven Pillars\, sometimes called simply “The Cliffs”\, lie about four miles southeast of Peru along the Mississinewa River. This breathtaking formation was created over the centuries as wind and water eroded the limestone\, carving rounded buttresses and alcoves into the north bluff of the river. Join the HCKC for this annual early November paddler trip. Cold-weather paddling gear and good boat skills required. \nTrip Leader: Rick Moulton\nsee newsletter for more information

SUMMARY:HCKC--Eagle Creek Clean-Up (Sept 30\, 2017)
DESCRIPTION:https://hoosiercanoeandkayakclub.wildapricot.org/event-2637129 \nWe will have a shoreline cleanup of Eagle Creek on Saturday\, September 30th. This is an opportunity to pay back one of our local partners and one of Indianapolis’s premier paddling resources by cleaning up the shores of Eagle Creek reservoir.\n* When: Saturday\, September 30th\, 10 a.m (Ready to Launch) until 1:00 pm \n* Where: Eagle Creek Park\, Canoe and Kayak put-in at the southwest end of the Discovery Center Parking Lot (next to Go Ape) \n* What to Bring: Snacks\, water\, gloves\, hat\, good water shoes\, sunscreen\, bug spray\, and your canoe or kayak. Trash bags and some trash grabber thingies will be provided. You might bring a knife for cutting fishing line. \n* Park Entry: This event has been added to the park calendar. When entering the park\, please tell the person at the entrance that you are a HCKC member here for the shoreline clean up. \nWe’ll plan to work until early afternoon or until we run out of trash to pick up. Plan to stay for all or part of the clean-up\, and we often go out of lunch afterwards.\nFor all the club members who have enjoyed getting into the park using the HCKC park pass on Tuesdays\, this clean-up is part of the price for that privilege. The club is committed to work 100 volunteer hours for the park in 2017. The HCKC gets volunteer hours for safety boating during the park’s popular moonlight and sunset paddles run by the Eagle Creek Outfitters\, and for clean-ups during the year. We’d like to thank those who have safety boated or already helped with park clean-ups.\nSide note: On a warm July day\, two HCKC members got to do some impromptu safety boating when they noticed two swimmers struggling to make progress towards shore while towing a swamped tandem kayak. Fortunately\, the swimmers were not panicked\, had retained both paddles\, ziplock bag with electronics\, and were wearing life jackets. Minutes later\, tandem drained and floating\, bilge pump (point of discussion) used to get even more water out\, and two paddlers back in the boat\, and once again on their way!\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:HCKC--Kayaking Skills Clinic
DESCRIPTION:https://hoosiercanoeandkayakclub.wildapricot.org/event-2525973 \nKayaking Skills Classes – Introductory and Intermediate Classes \nThis year\, we will offer four one-day sessions during the summer on the dates listed above. However\, we are going to try something different to give experienced paddlers more chance for training.\nSince we now have three ACA instructors\, we can break our class up into two groups. In one group\, we will cover the Introduction to Kayaking material that we always covered in these classes. In the other\, we will cover ACA Intermediate (Level 2 and 3) Instruction that we have offered only once per year in the past.\n* · Introduction to Paddling – \nTarget Paddlers: HCKC members who have never taken a class or who feel unsure of their strokes in their recreational\, touring\, or sea kayak.\nClass Content: Here’s a way to jumpstart your paddling! As a new kayaker\, you may know how to move your boat around in calm water. We will work with you to make your paddling easier and more efficient—to give you more control over your boat. We will work on your basic knowledge\, strokes\, and other paddling skills that you may need to safely enjoy the sport. This course is based on the American Canoe Association “Introduction to Kayaking” course. This is also a great opportunity to ask any question that you might have about paddling or the Hoosier Canoe and Kayak Club.\nYour instructor will first talk with you about the basics and then quickly get on the water to teach you how to move your boat forward\, backwards\, and sideways as well as how to turn and stop. .\n* · Intermediate Kayak Control (Edging/Turning and Stroke Refinement) \nTarget Paddlers: HCKC members who have taken an introductory class at least one year ago and who are comfortable with their forward-turning strokes as well as with their draw and rudder maneuvers. This class targets recreational\, touring\, and sea kayaks.\nClass Content: Boat control and turning are essential for Intermediate paddlers whether you are paddling on creeks\, rivers\, lakes\, or oceans. You need to make your boat do what you want it to do. In this class\, we will spend the entire class helping you to turn your boat faster\, easier\, and with more control. The main topics that we cover are listed below:\n* • Edging your boat and using fore/aft lean to turn your boat or to make it go straight \n* • Bow and stern rudders \n* • Side draws – Maneuvers that move your boat sideway without changing the angle of your boat \n* • Maneuvers to paddle tighter turns with control \nThis section will start with a short discussion of boat dynamics and quickly get on the water to start learning to play with your boat.\nMeeting Place: To be Announced – The instructors will send out an e-mail to participants about one week before the class. The Introductory Class will typically be held at Eagle Creek but the instructors for Intermediate classes may opt another location. . \nYour Chance of Immersion: While the water is cool\, we will demonstrate rescue skills but you won’t intentionally be getting into the water at this clinic unless you want to. Thatcher Pool’s Wednesday night sessions are a better place to practice rescues and wet exits when it’s cool out\nClass Size: Attendance for each class will be limited to 5 students for each of the 3 instructors. Enrollees must be registered HCKC Members and will be accepted based on the date that they e-mail Jim Sprandel. The split between Introductory and Intermediate students will be decided as student enrollments are processed.\nPlease do not sign up unless you can stay for the entire clinic (9:00 am to 3:30 pm).\nWhat to Bring:\nPlease bring your kayak\, life jacket\, paddle\, paddling jacket\, sun screen\, lunch\, and water.\nSafety equipment that you normally carry (e.g.\, pump\, paddle float\, stirrup\, tow or throw rope …) Please don’t buy safety equipment just for this class.\nPaddling Clothing—Even though you won’t intentionally be capsizing\, be sure to dress appropriately for the weather and water. Bring a wind-proof paddling jacket since it may be windy and cool. We will get out more info on what to wear in the pre-class e-mail.\nSpare clothes in a dry bag! (Just in case)\nQuestions—Please think about what you want to learn before the class and come with questions.\nSchedule: 9:00 am Meet at Designated Location\n9:30 am Be dressed to paddle with your boat at the launch area\n9:30 am—3:30 pm Class\nWe will take an hour around Noon for lunch and a safety discussion.\nHow to Register: Click Register in the left-hand column of this page.

SUMMARY:HCKC--Solar Eclipse Paddle Expedition
DESCRIPTION:https://hoosiercanoeandkayakclub.wildapricot.org/event-2465105 \nGreen River Overnight and Solar Eclipse Paddle\, Mammoth Cave National Park\, KY; August 18-21\nNote: the removal of the dam downstream of Mammoth Cave has changed the river a bit\, so some adjustments to the itinerary may be necessary\, including not being able to camp on the river. National Park rangers are now enforcing a mandatory wear your PFD rule. So\, stay flexible and enjoy the trip. :) \nIf you have ever wanted to try to camp out of your boat\, this trip is for you! One of my favorite places to paddle\, the Green River runs right through Mammoth Cave National Park and is a great outdoor resource available to all for hiking\, fishing\, camping\, and especially kayaking or canoeing. Wildlife abounds in the park\, and it is not uncommon to see deer\, wild turkey\, bald eagles\, raccoons\, beaver\, or hear the howls of a coyote pack in the distance. Since this is a National Park\, fishing is permitted without a license so feel free to bring your pole! If you don’t have a pole\, let me know and I may have an extra one for you to borrow.\nFriday Aug.18\nI plan on heading down early Friday and plan on camping at the Mammoth Cave National Park campground. The campgrounds are nice and clean; have flushing toilets and pay showers. Please let me know if you would be interested in camping as well\, as we can share sites\, etc. Cost is $20 per night and up to 8 persons per site. I plan on reserving sites for 3 nights in case of inclement weather or river conditions.\nCampground details: http://www.nps.gov/maca/planyourvisit/macacampground.htm\nSaturday Aug.19\nMeeting Point: Mammoth Cave Campground Store\nFor those who are not camping Friday night\, we will meet at the campground store. There is little to no cell phone service in MCNP\, so please plan on meeting Saturday at 9:30 am EST (8:30 CST). We will promptly leave at 9:45 am EST to the put-in.\nMammoth Cave National Park map: http://www.nps.gov/maca/planyourvisit/loader.cfm?csModule=security/getfile&PageID=69446\nPut In: Dennison’s Ferry\nWe will caravan to the put-in\, unload and run our shuttle. Shuttles will have to be figured out at the put-in based on vehicles\, number of people\, and who is going where. Shuttle time will be a little over an hour total.\nSome people don’t like camping and would rather explore on their own and sleep in a bed\, I get that. So\, for those of you who opt to sleep off the water you can take out at the Green River Ferry. It will be a nice 8 mile paddle for you on Saturday. For those of us sleeping river side\, we will continue to paddle down to our target camping spot of Sand Cave Island; located close to Turn Hole Bend. Camp spots are first come\, first serve\, so I would like to get to our island in the early evening so we can set up\, gather wood\, and relax for the night. Campers will paddle a total of approx. 12 miles Saturday. I will be bringing a cooking grate and a percolating coffee maker to share; you will need to bring what you would like to cook\, eat\, mix\, etc.\nFor those camping\, I will get our free camping permits Friday. I will need your vehicle’s Make\, Model\, and plate number\, along with emergency contact info. Your vehicle must have this permit displayed if you leave it overnight in the park.\nSuggested things to bring for camping:\nAlthough downed wood can be used for firewood\, it is always appreciated if you bring along some charcoal in a small ziplock baggie. Other suggested items include: flash light\, bug spray\, sunscreen\, plenty of water\, paper plates\, paper cups\, personal toiletries\, tent\, a couple of trash bags\, sleeping bag\, sleeping pad (we usually camp on a gravel bar)\, change of clothes\, a positive attitude\, sense of humor and don’t forget to pack food for Sunday. One tip I like to adhere to is to freeze my water bottles instead of bringing ice. They stay frozen longer and you will always have ice cold water to drink.\nHere are some other tips:\nhttp://www.paddling.net/guidelines/showArticle.html?317\nSunday\nIf you opted to not camp and still want to paddle on Sunday\, you can meet us campers on the river. The non-campers will need to run their own shuttle on Sunday. It sounds complicated\, but it worked out pretty well last time. Plan to meet on the river no later than 11 am EST\, just keep paddling until you see a bunch of happy HCC campers. J\nCampers will have an approx. 8 mile paddle on Sunday\, with non-campers paddling 12 miles. Take out will be at Houchins Ferry.\nPaddlers will be required to sign the HCKC Trip Disclaimer before embarking on our adventure. You can review the trip disclaimer in advance here: \nClick to access tripwavier.pdf \nIf you have never been to this area of KY\, here is a sneak peek of the scenery:\nhttp://www.nature.nps.gov/air/webcams/parks/macacam/macalargerimage.cfm\nIf you have any questions or need any more info\, please feel free to contact me (Natalie) at natalieHCCkayak@gmail.com\nPlease put Mammoth Cave in the subject line when emailing me.\nNote: the removal of the dam downstream of Mammoth Cave has changed the river a bit\, so some adjustments to the itinerary may be necessary. Stay flexible. :)\nMonday Day 3: Aug. 21\nNashville\, TN will have totality and it’s only 1.5 hours south. We’ll head that way Monday morning and put on the Cumberland River reservoir at Rockland Recreation Area and watch the total eclipse on the lake. I’ll be staying one more night in MCNP campground so it won’t be such a far drive home that day.
