Now that June has arrived it is time to look at your July schedule.......The North American Junior Olympics are in Golden, Colorado on July 6-8th (see website for details http://www.whitewaterracing.org/2007juniorolympics.htm.
AWA and WSAA are planning a US tour to encompass the Junior Olympics and to drive through Idaho on the way back, stopping to do some river runs (both freestyle and slalom disciplines will be practiced). The intent of this email is to determine the number of paddlers interested in touring together. Once the number of paddlers is determined the number of coaches traveling with group, accommodation and transportation questions can be answered. Please respond to KAREN HIRL with a percentage to indicate your interest. (ie Jo Paddler -75% interested and wishing to find out when we leave) We will need a ASAP reply by Wednesday, June 13th so the logistics can be worked out immediately.
