This is the tentative
Paddle Schedule for 2009. Please note that there are a few empty
dates. If you wish to take charge of one of the empty date please let
Glenn know by e-mail or snail mail. He will update the schedule and let
the rest of the membership know about the new dates.
Remember, by sending our
notices by e-mail the club saves money. This is how we remain in business
without requiring dues.
Reminders for all 2009
events will be sent.
The blank Dates are from last year and we are hoping
that those folks will want to do a Paddle this year. Please let Glenn know.

Chester
River Association you guys usually have some kind of cook out or hosting of eats afterward, but for logistics of the first one, I thought we can just have the paddle/clean up part and if someone on the volunteer groups wants to host a potluck than we could do that, otherwise we will skip the food. This is a “working” Paddle - we
will be picking up trash and landing at Shadding reach Landing (about 3.5
miles). The total time will be on how much time we spend cleaning up our
river. The tide will be with us
so it should be an easy paddle. I would like a head count so I can have
vehicles ready to transport folks back up to the launch site to retrieve
kayaks, unless folks want to return by kayak (not too bad, the tide would be
coming in). Not sure how long your previous paddles have been, but I would
assume a little longer since our focus will be picking up trash. I will also
have a truck ready for trash pickup. Brent Walls bwalls@chesterriverassociation.org 410-708-9402 |

& Sjostroms Directions from Chestertown: Go north on
Rte 213 and turn left at Suds n Soda onto Rte 297.Continue on Rte. 297 to the
stop sign at the high school. Turn right onto Rte. 298 and continue to
Coopers Lane , which is the first road on your left. Follow if all the way to
the end and turn right on Kinnairds Point Drive. The road to the boat ramp
will be marked and it is called Ralph Smith Drive. Take the road down the
hill and there is ample parking there. We will paddle out to Still
Pond and then into Churn Creek. For those who feel it may be too long a
paddle, they can paddle in Still Pond Creek or just in Still Pond. I believe
the next paddle will be in Still Pond Creek, so they may prefer to head to
Churn Creek instead. We will provide directions to
our house, 24101 University Drive, for those who need them. University
Drive is on the way back out of Kinnaird Point off of Coopers Lane
directly across from the Drayton water tower. We are at the bottom of the
hill on Churn Creek. If you have any questions, we
can be reached at 410-810-7567. |
