I'm a Buckeye who will invade your turf tomorrow around 11:00 a.m. at the Wyliss St boat launch in Oil City, and canoe the Allegheny with 13 other Buckeyes down to Emlenton. We are called the "Old Farts Patrol," a group of Scout Dads (average age 55+) who have been doing an annual trip just for Dads for about 15 years. Great fun and enlightened conversation.
Two nights on stream with a mix of liberals (minority) and conservatives, we'll be getting out at Emlenton around noon on Sunday. Hopefully all 14 will arrive intact. We have one canoe dedicated to food and adult beverages, so a fly on the tree should get an earful. I can assure you that we will leave your fine river in better shape than we find it. We pickup all trash left behind by sloppy campers/boaters, and haul out all bottles & cans found, and burn all paper trash each evening.
Aside from the Steelers, we love all Pennsyltuckians.
