When is the next trip?
Just updated the schedule. Looks like Mike’s going to be out hiking this Saturday, but I’m planning to be on the bayou heading downstream at 8am. Hopefully it’ll be a shorter day (sandwiched between the end of #11’s set and the start of #15’s insanity) — being back in time for the Saints game sounds good to me, as *my* native home team just lost to those infernal 49ers.
where do i go to get a canoe one weekend?
We’ve been known to personally bring extras for other people when we’re out doing paddle trips or cleanups/work days. As far as going out on your own, on the other hand, I know LSU also has outdoor gear rentals open to the public. They’re only open Monday through Friday, apparently, so you have to rent by the weekend, at least from what I gathered from http://www.lsu.edu/urec after seeing the link on this sign they had out by the lakes: https://flic.kr/p/oFKL33
I am not familiar with any other local outfitter or such, although The Backpacker does do demo days at the lakes. (I tried out a stand-up paddleboard there, just to see what it’s like — I think I’ll stick with my existing fleet of canoes and kayaks, but it was interesting.)
I’d love to join you on a weekday trip again :)
I would like to join the group at highland road park sometime
