The weather forecast looks good for Saturday. Come on out and be under the shade trees near the Dan River. You'll have a good time helping as a NCWW volunteer!

I wonder if I could drive over to Meadows Of Dan and put a canoe in the Dan River there and float down to Danbury. I doubt the river is navigable all that way - drops a few hundred feet - probably some rapids and water falls along the way. And I don't have a canoe.

I'm just curious. Where do folks stay overnight if they'll be setting up on Friday for the event Saturday?
There are several B&B in the area and some cabins at Hanging Rock State Park which is only a couple miles away.
The nearest regular hotel is in King which is about 30 minutes.

You would have to make it around the dam and through Kibbler Valley which is whitewater.

Jeff, those too us that are setting up are local to the area, speaking for myself, I'll be in my own bed.

Drive on up Saturday and visit the area, or take up Mike's response and visit one of the B&Bs Friday night.

Order us up some cooler weather this year. Last year wasn't too bad, but the year before was too hot.

Forecast for Saturday is 82, with possibility of isolated afternoon showers

I had a nice day, the people watching and encounters were a lot of fun. I enjoyed sharing Woodworking to the general public.
