Hey Wildcat Paddlers,
For many years our Expedition Team has shared a Holiday on The Wildcat Trip sometime during the Memorial Day Weekend. It will happen again this year, next Saturday the 23rd. As usual, we will Paddle from Adams Mill to Knop Lake, details below.
Other Paddling Groups are welcome to share this with your Members.......
Wildcat Creek
Adams Mill to Knop Lake.......13.6-miles
Saturday May 23rd
Adams Mill PAS.......10:00 AM
The Meeting Location will be the Adams Mill PAS on Our Wildcat Creek (Directions Below & Attached). The Meeting Time will be 10:00-AM.
Our Trip will be 13.6-miles to the Knop Lake PAS. There will be a Short-timer option of 7.0-miles to the Zenie Bridge.
The Wildcat @ Owasco Gauging Station was going UP from 500-cfs Tuesday Morning. It the Weather stays Dry for the next few days, it will probably will be back down to Perfect Flow for an enjoyable Trip down from Adams Mill.
But.......The Weather Forecast states that More Storms are on the way.
If the Saturday Forecast turns into a Rainy Day, or the Flow is above a
Safe Level, I will post a Cancellation Notice on Friday.......
(see My "7-PM Rule" down below).

P.S........Don't forget Muskrat's "7PM Rule". If something goes really bad and a Trip must be canceled, I will post that Cancellation by an email Newsletter not later than 7PM the Night Before The Trip. If you feel there is something going on that might cancel the Trip, check your emails sometime AFTER 7PM the evening before the Trip. If there is no announcement, Muskrat (or one of his Associate Trip Leaders) will arrive at the Put-in at the appointed time.

See You On The River,
