We'll be staying @ White Pine campground Fri. & Sat. nights to watch the canoers come by & have a couple of cold ones. We'll be cheering for Moonphase when he comes by!

We'll have the river "lit up" for about 150 yards stretch half way between McMaster and Parmalee with a "few" people cheering them on at our cabin. Been doing it for a couple years now.

Cousin and good friends used to race, usually top 10. So I and family/friends have been going to the race for decades. We were part of a huge fight at Ma Deeters one year back many years ago during our college days, dam Luzerne locals:lol:...aaaahhhhh memories!!!

Grandma and Grandpa have been and seen the start of the race every single year of the race...if your at the beginning during prerace, I think they are the only ones now that are left standing when the MC goes though the "How many races have you been too?" part.

Look forward to it every year. Good Luck, Moonphase...the water is low this year unless this rain bumps it up a little...heard river below Mio dam is not normal!? Record 90 teams in this year. For those coming, be patient in Grayling as construction has downtown a mess, but they are doing the best to accomodate everybody with transportation etc..but should be fine.

It looks like a real good squall line ran through the state this afternoon, hopefully it'll fill the river a bit! I know when it blew through Romeo, there was about 3 inches of water all the way across 32 Mile.

Nice Job Brian,
My hat is off to all of you guys. This was my first Marathon we had a great time in the rain. We stood at the corner before Ray's then ran to a house down the road. I was sore today from the 100 yard dash. We cheered you on at Keystone and Stephan Bridge.
Nice job Moonphase! Your Pops would be proud.
