Fork of the Stillaguamish (Stilly) from Jordan Rd. bridge (Chapel Bridge #87) to River Meadows Park. It is about 8 miles and should take about 3 hours on the water. It is a great training run with no scary wood (that I've ever seen) and easy put in and take out. We'll meet at 10:30 at the Rite Aid in Granite Falls, just across from Subway at the W. end of town when you come in east on 92. I know some of you have sick days and spring fever qualifies ;>) 
For information contact: Chris Herman (WRRR safety and education chair) 206-525-3969 after noon

Dealers launch at 10, don’t launch before them or you will miss your next cards. A “sweep” boat will launch at 12 and card stations shut down once the sweep boat arrives. Don’t get behind the sweep boat or you may lose out on cards. Cost is $5 per poker hand. We will compare poker hands after dinner about 7 PM at the group camp. You must be present to win. Poker hands will be sold friday night from 7pm-9pm at the campfire and Saturday morning at putin like usual.

Camping

Free camping for WRRR members from Thursday noon to Sunday noon at the any of the Goodell Group Camps.
We have all three loops, and the two main loops Thursday night also. There are individual sites in the lower loop and a big open space for lots of rigs in the upper loop. To find the camp look for an unmarked dirt road under the power lines on the north side (left as you head east) of Hwy 20 just after you pass the main campground, about 1 mile west of Newhalem. The dirt road is just west of the bridge where the highway crosses GoodellCreek. Camping for non-members is $10 per person.
Noise: Quiet hours for the upper loop are 10PM-8AM. There are no quiet hours for the lower loop. Pick your camp site accordingly.
