Elsberry launch is GO but bridge is out

I was just advised that the bridge we usually use to cross Lost Creek is out (or at least not open for our use) so use Hatfield Road (county highway 920) to go around the north side of the lagoon and then take the next two right turns (see Google Maps link). https://maps.app.goo.gl/1V6PFNiz3Pu5rhKj7

High Power Launch is Go for tomorrow

The latest from the field is that we expect to be able to launch tomorrow, but the landowner is going to check conditions at 7:00am and give us a final okay. If we do have to cancel, we will send out an announcement as early as possible. However, I think it is safe to turn the light GREEN on the website. Hope to see you there.
