Vin: Sorry, tomorrow A.M. isn't possible - other commitments. Also, the lake
is lowere by the day; paddling possibilities are shrinking rapidly. By
tomorrow morning, you may be able to drive a good distance along the road
across the bottoms and get some good looks from terra firma.
We haven't been charging. Probably we will ask for a donation to The Rankin
Project next year. Check with us in May - best time for a canoe tour is
June/July.
Getting there: keep driving along the river and the railroad and you'll get
there.
Regards,
Michael

Hi,
I know this is short notice and right in the middle of the week, but a freind
and
I will be at Rankin tomorrow morning, about 9am we've never been before but
looks like the directions are pretty straight forward. Would you be able to meet
us for a canoe tour??
How much of a fee do you have?
thanks,
Vin
