Cinco de Mayo paddle.<br />COE says it’s going to release between 800 and 1200 cfs from Jennings Randolph dam on Thursday. After seeing John S’s report of a 500 cfs run that he really enjoyed, I say we go for it on Thursday.<br /><br />Those coming from DC area can meet in Myersville at McDonalds (on Hwy 17 <br />at Exit 42 from I-70) at 8:30. We will move to the Park and Ride, re-arrange boats, and be on the road by 9. If you are going straight to Bloomington, meet at the take-out at 11. Take out is off Hwy 135 where Savage River flows into the N. Branch of Potomac — Race Street in Bloomington MD. (39.4731, -79.0777)<br /><br />Temps predicted to be a high of 73 with light winds. Water will be cold (~50) as the release comes from the bottom of the reservoir. Dress properly.<br /><br />Please let David Cottingham (Cotton) know if you plan to join the group — dcottingham7@icloud.com or 202-699-1277. I will check the release schedule Thursday morning before leaving home about 7:30. If the Corps changes its release schedule I will be in touch with folks who have indicated they plan to join us.
