 More info to come as far as definite location.  Trip will only be held if weather and flow conditions are okay.

 Questions:  What to wear?  Dress in layers--wool or fleece.  This is probably not a good time to try your first cold paddling event.  Your level of comfort will vary from other's.  Bring a change of clothing in a dry bag just in case.  Dry suits, wet suits, insulated clothing may not needed except by those who get cold easily, but you may want to wear if you have the gear.  Pick a cold day-temps in the 20's and put on your outfit and go stand in the creek.  If you are cold after a few minutes, you are underdressed.  See the Editor's Note below.
