DESCRIPTION:https://hoosiercanoeandkayakclub.wildapricot.org/event-2465194 \nThe Blue River is one of every paddler’s favorites. IDNR says the Blue River flows through one of the most scenic\, interesting and diverse areas of Indiana.

SUMMARY:CIWC--Lost in the Woods at Location TBD (Oct 7-8\, 2017)
DESCRIPTION:https://ciwclub.org/event-2640312 \nLost in the Woods\n  October 7-8\, 2017\n  Leaders: Bob Hart and Steve Kinch\n  Contact: ciwcinfo@gmail.com\n  Cost: $30\n  Cancellation Date and full payment: September 15\, 2017\n  Adults only\n  Group Size: Maximum  11   Minimum  8\n Wilderness Level:  3\n  Difficulty: Moderate \n  Lost in the Woods\n  Are you ready to become a survivor?  On this trip we’ll learn the importance and value of carrying “THE ESSENTIALS” in your day pack.   The scenario – we’re out day hiking and something goes wrong.  Now we are forced to spend the night in the woods with only the contents of our day packs to SURVIVE. \n  This will be an intermediate trip (not for beginners) and we’ll work together to make a shelter\, find water\, build a fire and improvise with basic tools you will have in your day pack.  A list of essentials will be provided by the leaders and it will compare very closely with the classic and modern lists that outdoor experts and survivalists use.   Tents and sleeping bags are out so you’ll be improvising to make a shelter and stay warm during the night.  You’ll also be working as a team.  Not only will it be fun but rewarding as a memorable learning experience.  We are asking that everyone who applies should have spent a minimum of 3 nights in previous backcountry situations. \n  This will be a reprise of a similar CIWC event from 2015.  The participants in that event were all newer members in the club at the time with less than 2 years of club experience.  Six of that group have gone on to become trip leaders and 3 became members of the board. So\, they were successful and what a confidence builder! \n  The exact destination will be withheld until the end but you’ll be guided to meet at a rendezvous point outside of the wilderness.  The event will last just a bit over 24 hours from Saturday morning to Sunday morning.  The cost (estimated at $30) will cover “one last meal” (at lunch) and some surprises.  You’ll be expected to submit a medical form and sign a waiver and release.\n  Additional information including a list of what to bring will be supplied after you sign up.  Cancellation date is:  Sept 15\, 2017.

SUMMARY:CIWC--Sylvania Wilderness Canoeing and Porcupine Mountains State Park Sightseeing\, Upper Peninsula\, Michigan (Oct 1-7\, 2017)
DESCRIPTION:https://ciwclub.org/event-2396265 \nSylvania Wilderness Canoeing and\nPorcupine Mountains State Park Sightseeing\,\nUpper Peninsula\, MI\nSunday\, October 1 through Saturday\, October 7\, 2017\nCo-Leaders: Elden Hartman: elhart54@sbcglobal.net and Roger Coulter: jroger7@aol.com\nTrip Fee: $355.00\nCancellation Date: August 15\, 2017\nRating: Beginner to Moderate Level; Adults and Teenagers 14 or older\, with experience\nWe will depart Indianapolis early in the morning on Sunday\, October 1\, 2017 and drive through Rockford\, IL and then straight up through the middle of WI into the Upper Peninsula of MI\, to the 60\,000 acre Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park near Ontonagon\, MI\, where we will spend two nights in a rustic cabin with 8 bunks near the shores of Lake Superior. We will spend a full day there on Monday to see some beautiful sights of the “Porkies”\, including the Lake of the Clouds Scenic Area\, the Escarpment Trail and the Overlook Trail. On Tuesday\, we will drive 70 miles to Sylvania Wilderness in Ottawa National Forest near Watersmeet\, MI\, stopping on the way at Sylvania Outfitters to pick up our canoe paddles and PFDs. Our canoes will be shuttled for us to the Clark Lake landing. We will camp four nights in a primitive wilderness campsite on Clark Lake about a one hour paddle (and no portaging) from our entry point\, and take some day paddles or hikes from our base camp there. Sylvania Wilderness is a beautiful and pristine area of 18\,000 acres\, with 34 lakes\, and 25 miles of hiking trails and portages. The portages are well-maintained and easy trails of short to moderate length. One of the days while we are camping in Sylvania\, we will take a day trip in the van to the resort town of Eagle River\, WI\, about 35 miles away. We will leave our campsite on Clark Lake early on Saturday morning\, paddle back to the landing\, and hit the road after a much-needed hot shower\, arriving home late Saturday evening.\nThe trip fee will include all meals and snacks on Monday through Friday\, except for the day we travel to Eagle River\, and meals on the drive up and drive home on Sunday and Saturday. We will provide the stoves\, fuel\, cook gear\, eating and drinking cups\, plates\, and eating utensils. For suppers\, we will have home-made dehydrated meals or Mountain House entrees\, and Ramen noodles\, along with some puddings or other desserts. We may be able to have some fried fish to supplement our regular menu\, if we have fishermen\, and they catch fish they can keep. For lunches\, we will have peanut butter\, jelly\, tuna in foil packs\, Miracle Whip or mayonnaise on tortillas\, flatbread or sandwich thins. There will also be beef jerky\, summer sausage\, dried apples\, and granola bars for snacks. For breakfasts\, we will have bacon\, eggs\, oatmeal\, granola\, and pancakes\, but probably not all for the same breakfast! We will have coffee singles\, tea bags\, Crystal Lite drink mix packets\, and hot cocoa for drinks. No alcoholic beverages will be permitted. We will have filtered lake water to drink at all times as well. If you have any special dietary needs or complaints with the above fare\, let me know. There will be weight and space restrictions on what you can bring. The club leaders will bring all the food and gear needed for the trip. You will just need an inflatable sleeping pad\, sleeping bag\, tent\, and clothes. No bulky foam pads or metal chairs will be allowed\, and cans and bottles are prohibited pursuant to National Forest regulations.

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:PIFN--Camp Atterbury "Pop Up Target" Pistol Event (Sept 30\, 2017)
DESCRIPTION:Event Overview\nPrerequisites\nAt this event you may fire from either the “low ready” or draw from a holster. Less experienced shooters are encouraged to fire from the “low ready” while shooters who have had previous training in correctly drawing from a holster may do so if they wish. Drawing from a holster (or even having a holster for your handgun) is not a requirement to participate in this event. However\, we expect all participants to abide by the following suggested prerequisites: \n\n\n\nFiring from “low ready”: familiarity with range safety rules and ability to shoot safely (a previous NRA Basic Pistol\, Revere’s Riders Pistol 100 course or similar training from another organization is sufficient).\nDrawing from a holster: drawing from a holster will be allowed at this event. However\, there will be some limitations on the holster:\n\nthe holster must fit your handgun—this means that your handgun should correctly fit in the holster and that the trigger is completely covered when your handgun is holstered.\nno “appendix”\, “small of the back”\, “cross draw” or “shoulder” holsters will be allowed—there are 10 firing positions at the range we will be using and it is nearly impossible to use these types of holsters without “flagging” someone else either on or behind the firing line. The holster you use for the event should position your handgun in the 3 to 4 o’clock position on the strong side of your belt.\nuse an appropriate belt to support your holster and handgun—you should have a belt that is capable of supporting the weight of your holster and firearm. Most general purpose belts aren’t up to this; your waist will thank you for using a belt designed to support your holster and handgun.\n\n\n\n\n\nAdditionally\, you should have previous experience in drawing from a holster if you plan to do so at this event. We will not be teaching you how to correctly draw from a holster; if your draw technique is deemed to be unsafe by the event RSOs\, you will be asked to discontinue drawing from a holster and to fire from the low ready instead. \nRequired Equipment\nThe following equipment will be required: \n\n\n\na safe handgun (centerfire is preferred\, but rimfire will also work)\na minimum of 400 rounds of ammunition in the correct caliber for your handgun (bring more ammunition if you have it; the last thing you want is to run out before the day is over).\neye protection\near protection\nsufficient magazines or “moon clips” for your handgun (4 is a good minimum for this event; if you have a low-capacity handgun\, bring more)\n\n\n\nOptional Equipment\nOptional equipment that will likely increase your enjoyment of this event includes: \n\n\n\nmagazine loading tool (Maglula or similar)—you will be loading a LOT of magazines during this event and having a magazine loading tool will lessen the strain on your thumb.\na folding chair and something to provide shade from the sun (the range is out in the open with limited shelter)\nsunscreen and/or bug spray\na hat with a brim to protect from the sun and hot brass\nplenty of your preferred method of hydration. Both plain water and something to replace the electrolytes you will lose via sweating is ideal.\nsnacks\n\n\n\nMinimal Instruction\nThis will not be an instructional event but rather a special opportunity to shoot on the same range used by Navy Seals\, Special Forces\, Army Rangers\, etc. We will have a safety briefing before any live fire occurs to ensure everyone is aware of the safety rules in place for the event. Once the safety briefing is complete\, there will be minimal breaks in order to maximize rounds down range. \nEvent Details\nThe range consists of electronically controlled “pop-up” targets that can be programmed to raise/lower in a myriad of sequences and with varying degrees of difficulty for the shooter. This range is normally not accessible to the general public; this is a very unique opportunity to experience the same training environment as some of our nation’s most elite soldiers. \nAs such\, you should be comfortable with your handgun in order to attend this event; this will be an opportunity to apply skills that you have learned in previous handgun training courses. Shooting will be from a fixed position (i.e.\, no movement while on the firing line). Drawing from a holster will be allowed but you should obviously be proficient and comfortable with doing so; drawing from a holster will not be a required part of this event (i.e.\, you may complete each course of fire starting from the “low ready” position). Movement will be allowed it will be one step to the right or the left. This is an opportunity to practice your defensive skills. \nWhile there will be no formal instruction at this event\, experienced firearms instructors will be present at the event and will provide limited instruction as needed. However\, this is not a training event and participants should not expect to receive extensive instruction. \nShooters will be assigned two per lane on the firing line (we are happy to pair you up with a friend if you desire). This will allow one shooter to be on the firing line while the other is reloading magazines as needed. \nThe course of fire for one session will generally consist of around 5 programmed sequences of the “pop-up” targets. Each sequence will in turn consist of one or multiple targets being presented for a given duration; targets are knocked down by a hit in the “kill” zone (center of mass or head area). Targets remain standing if only struck in the “hit” zone (everything not in the “kill” zone) and disappear at the end of the programmed duration. Each sequence will consist of multiple target presentations. Shooters will rotate at the end of each session. \nEven though we are on a military range\, participants should feel free to “sit out” a rotation if they wish. \nThere will be a morning and\, if demand is sufficient\, an afternoon session. We are selling the morning session first; if and when that session fills\, we will open ticket sales for the afternoon session. There will be 20 tickets available for each session for a maximum of 40 participants across both sessions. \nNot sure if this is the event for you? Watch the below video from our June 2017 event at the same range to get a better idea of what this event entails: \n \nMore photos and videos are available at the Camp Atterbury Pistol Event June 2017 photo and video galleries. \nImportant Additional Event Information\nPre-registration is Required\nAll participants must purchase tickets by the DEADLINE of 5:00 PM EDT on September 27th.  Absolutely no registrations will be allowed after this deadline.\n \nThe unique venue for this event requires that your personal information (name\, address and phone number) be provided to Camp Atterbury Joint Maneuver Training Center (CAJMTC) and subsequently shared with Military Police and the Range Control office. Your information will not be used in any manner other than to allow your admittance to the installation and to contact you regarding this event. Pre-registration is required so that we can forward your information to CAJMTC in time for the event. \nYou are also responsible for reading the below additional range information specific to Camp Atterbury. Please keep in mind that we are using a military facility and military rules and discipline are in force. Camp Atterbury is an active military installation and military activities take priority over civilian activities; as such we may have our scheduled access removed at any time\, up to and including the day of the event. \nRefund Policy\nRefunds will only be issued for this event due to cancellation of the event by military authorities. Absolutely no refunds will be given for any other reason. \nLunch\nAn optional pulled pork lunch along with smoked baked beans and chips will be made available; lunch tickets are per person. If you prefer\, you can bring your own sack lunch (don’t plan to leave CAJMTC for lunch as there will not be sufficient time). \nAdditional Range Information\nIf you are in the “Morning Session”\, please plan to arrive no later than 8:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time at Range Control on the Camp Atterbury grounds (the guards at the entrance gate can direct you to Range Control if you have not previously been to Camp Atterbury). \nIf you are in the “Afternoon Session”\, please plan to arrive no later than 12:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time at Range Control on the Camp Atterbury grounds (the guards at the entrance gate can direct you to Range Control if you have not previously been to Camp Atterbury). If you purchased lunch and are in the “Afternoon Session”\, plan to arrive no later than 12:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time to allow time to eat lunch before the event begins at 1:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time. \nWe are only allowed to proceed as a group to the range itself due to the numerous “hot” ranges that we must pass along the way (making a wrong turn onto a range being actively used by A-10 Warthogs to practice strafing would not be a “good thing”). \nArriving early will allow us to get started promptly at 9:00 AM EDT in the morning and 1:00PM EDT in the afternoon. \nPlease be aware of the time difference if you are coming from the Central time zone; 8:30 AM EDT is 7:30 AM CDT and 12:30PM EDT is 11:30AM CDT. \nEvent Sponsor\n\nAlan Alcorn of A&A Optics in Richmond\, IN has graciously donated some swag to be given away at this event. In addition\, Alan has donated a Grand Prize for the overall top shooter.

Everything we will need for overnight will be carried into the backcountry where we will make camp\,\nWorking as a group goals would be to teach the basics of shelter\, fire\, water\, personal hygiene and camp food. It will be extremely helpful if participants have either (1) been to the beginning backpacking class or (2) have prior camping experience.\nShelter: We would cover how to pitch a backpacking tent and keep the inside dry. We will also show various methods of erecting a tarp.\nFire: We would teach how to gather tinder and fuel and how to start and safely maintain a fire.\nWater: Various water collection and purification procedures will be demonstrated.\nPersonal Hygiene: Personal cleanliness and “bathroom” processes will be explained.\nCamp Food: Leaders will demonstrate and prepare a camp dinner and a camp breakfast.

The plan is to leave Indy on Monday morning in the club van\, arrive in the park in time to set up tents and do a short hike before diner. The following 5 days will allow time for long one-way hikes using the van to drop off and pick up hikers or to do loop trails. Each night we will return to the campground. On Sunday we will take a short morning hike before leaving to return to Indy sometime in that evening.\nThe trails in the Smokys are well marked and easy to follow but can be very strenuous in the mountain areas. We should be able to see waterfalls\, mountain streams\, old growth trees\, old settler’s homes\, numerous wildflowers\, bears\, and fantastic scenery from the mountain clearings.\nThe specific trails will be picked out by the trip leader in the spring of 2017. Cost for the trip is $230 per person. This will include van transportation to and from the park as well as daily drop offs and pickups\, 6 breakfasts\, 6 dinners and campsite fees. This trip is not for beginning hikers as the hikes will be several hours long and can be strenuous as noted above. You will be responsible for providing sleeping bags\, tent and your own snacks and lunches while on the trails. Meals while traveling to and from the park on Monday and Sunday will be at your expense.\nDon’t miss this walk in the park!

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.
