We'll paddle and explore McAllister Creek then at around high tide paddle back to Nisqually Reach opening.  Depending on conditions we'll paddle either to Lyle Point (Anderson Island), Tolmie State Park, or toward the concrete boat beach east of the Nisqually Reach.  

Students must practice self and assisted rescues.  

Initially, I would like to prioritize student (any branch) sign ups until August 28 by requiring leader's permission to sign up.  After that the sign up will be open to all. Thank you.  Update 8/28/22:  open to BSK grads and students. No permission required.
