The Erie canal spilled over the roads not far from my home.. the cuyahoga is very high.

I hope you are referring to the river and not the county.

As I recall the Cuyahoga river is said to be dangerous for kayakers only when it is on fire. It has been decades since the Cuyahoga has caught fire.

I think it would be fun to get a group of Freepers together for the Bay Village Beck Picnic. I wonder how many times I have said on the air the words "Bay Village" followed or preceded by "Sam Shepard". I would bet it is in the thousands.

Two of my good kayaking friends (expert, world wide kayakers , teachers) were killed a few months ago on the Cuyahoga. Got caught in a "screen". Interesting thing is a relative "Newbie" was with them & he too was dumpted but made it safely to shore.

I met Sam shepherd years ago. When he was out of prison. He & adrienne often walked hand in hand on beach. I hung there in High school & college (the beach .. now Huntington). Sam & Adrienne were very friendly & very much in love. They would come & sit on my blanket .. learned my name & we would chat. Once brought a bottle of wine.. (lotsa fun for a kid)..I brought my parents once & they also met S & A (this time my parents brought lunch & the wine).. They told me I was their adopted daughter....as they met too late in life to have kids..

Yes, a freeper time July 4 would be fun. right now I have no plans.. Have been talking up the event here. Glenn Beck is broadcasting 9-12.... It would be nice if Cleveland would combine their fireworks with Bay's (which would be notably smaller)

Maybe a link, thread to push & publicize? Or notification in Ohio area. I am still not to sure how to do many things..
