Croix fall run? Date: TBD?
« on: August 11, 2011, 08:27:37 PM »
Well, I got some news. It seems I will not be riding the rest of my time in the army out in colorado. I will now be going over to afghanistan to give my last little bit to uncle sam. I will however be coming home, and will most likely do one or two more runs on the croix before I winterize the boat and get on the bird to go. I'll only be home a week, and will most likely not have my date of when I'll be home until right before I come home. I should be home around mid Sept-early Oct.

I don't plan to have everyone jump on board of this, but more or less just a thread that I can keep updated when I might be able to do a meet and greet. Also the last min thing will kill off most people that would have come out, also more than likely, I'll only be in MN for a week, and not get much time on the weekend.


So if you have lots of free time, and would like to get onto the river some time to just do some normal boating type stuff, maybe even a quick run somewhere, I wouldn't mind meeting.

That would be GREAT!  I'm all in!  My wife was in Kandahar and Kabul for 7 months.

Thanks for your service!

Keep us posted as to your plans, and I will be on the river with ya!

A fall run on the river would be really nice.

Very cool. Hey, if its just one or two people that show up, I think that will be very respectable turn out considering the situation. I think it will be great, time. I remember when I was little being on the river seeing all the fall leaves come in, very nice.

I was in KAF/Leatherneck/Wilson in 2009-2010. We will be a little more northwest this time from my understanding.

The fall is the BEST time for boating on the St. Croix. Most of the traffic is gone and the leaves are all starting to change. I am in too!

Please provide as much advance notice as possible and maybe we'll get a few others to go.

Yup, as soon as I know the week I'll be home, we can work a date out.
