Sounds like it should be a good trip. My plan is to drive over from Pierre the day before and camp at the Flandreau Park. To make it worthwhile we might stick around another day or 2. I'd kind of like to get my whitewater boat out in some faster water (Split Rock Creek maybe). Anyone else out there interested? Maybe on that Sunday.
John: I don't have a whitewater boat - but would be open to a trip on Split Rock on Sunday. I haven't checked out the water levels on the creek yet this spring. I'll try and do that soon and report on this blog.
Guys, I sent word to Gene Preston about this idea, hopefully he'll get into the mix. I would join you but cannot take the glass boat on this. Maybe the wife's boat ... hmm.
Sounds like a hoot!
Hopefully we'll get a lot of water out of the snow tonight. Water levels are not as high on the Sioux or the Split Rock as they have been in the past.
I plan to be there too. Hopefully I can get my boat out for the first time this week...
The Foys will have a mini-floatilla today. See you there!
