In Response To: Announce: Deschutes Wooden Boat Gathering (Greg Bridges)

: So after teaching 5 classes at Central Oregon Community College, more than
: several boats have been finished. We are planning to have a wooden boat
: gathering on the Deschutes River which runs right through the town of
: Bend, Oregon. It will be on May 2, from 11-2. Open to all, bring food,
: drinks, and a boat or two if you have them. We will meet at Alder Creek
: Kayak and Canoe, south of the Colorado Bridge in the Old Mill. Geoff from
: Alder Creek will have a BBQ. Try out different boats, pre-paddle the kayak
: leg of Pole Peddle Paddle, and pick up some tips and tricks. I'll be
: bringing all the ships from my Oregon-based fleet, 10 wooden boats in all.
: Rumor has it that several model T's or A's from the local club will also
: show up. BTW, what's a model T or A? :-),I'm still in my 30's. Greg

Hi Greg, I think Model T's a A's is a slang usage for 'original of the species' as in Model T Ford or Model A Ford. :D

Mu wild guess for the day,
