Hi Paddlers,
Our first official 2012 Tuesday Evening Paddle last week brought out 17 boats for a beautiful evening on the Reservoir. We are going to go there again this week and the weather is forecast to be another nice evening.
So for this Tuesday we are planning to leave shore and be on the water again by 6:15 at the Helena Regulating Reservoir on York Road. Because of the Custer Avenue construction, I think the best way to get there from town is to go east out Hwy. 12 toward E. Helena. Turn left on Wylie Drive. Go about 5 miles north. Turn right on York Road and go about 2 miles. The entrance into the Reservoir is on the right, shortly past the intersection of Lake Helena Drive & York Rd.
See you on the water.
Susan

For those new to the group, here is a short blurb about what we do:
Our flatwater paddling group is a group of folks who informally get together on Tuesday evenings for a couple hours to paddle on various open bodies of water in the Helena area We've paddled at the Helena Regulating Reservoir, from York Bridge going both north & south, from the Causeway on Lake Helena Drive, on Canyon Ferry Lake, and at the Gates of the Mountains. We try to be on the water by 6:15.
People need to have their own boats, life jackets, paddles, etc. and be able and responsible for themselves. You should also be pretty comfortable on open water and in dealing with weather changes, wind, rain, cold, and occasional choppy water. It's a fun, sociable group of people and we all enjoy paddling for fun and recreation. We also enjoy getting more people involved in paddling.
Each Tuesday evening we decide where to meet the following week and I've volunteered to e-mail reminders about the meeting spot. If you have any questions, feel free to e-mail me.
