*Word has it that Dale Cross was chipping ice out of the river this morning in an effort to keep the race on the original date. A huge thanks to the Waldo County YMCA for their continued sponsorship of this race!

In case anyone missed it, the BDN has an article here:

The article notes that the Passy is still very solid, so there's a chance that race (currently scheduled for Sat April 5) could be delayed. Don't count on a double header next weekend ...

I'm bringing some of my high school teams to the St. George tomorrow (Friday, 4/4) to paddle the race course. We'll arrive in Searsmont probably around 3:45 and will try to be ready to paddle by 4:15. I'd really appreciate it if others adults could be on the river with us at that time. Please, if you're going to run the river tomorrow, please consider doing so with us around 4:15 or so. Thanks!!!
