BUSES:

• Drop athletes off on Kelly Drive at the Canoe Club parking lot.
• Once bus is unloaded, the bus needs to be moved down past the Columbia RR Bridge near the three angels statue.
• Buses need to be lined up and parked on the left hand side of Kelly Drive below the Columbia RR Bridge for the remainder of the regatta.  This is the same bus parking procedures used at regattas like Dad Vails and Stotesbury.
• No parking or waiting of buses on Kelly Drive near the Canoe Club parking lot is permitted.  Loading and unloading only.

TRAILERS:

• The Canoe Club parking lot will be closed to public parking after the morning rush hour on Friday.  We advise waiting until after it is closed to bring in your trailer.
• Please pull the trailer all the way to the end of the lot before parking (i.e. don't just pick a spot in the middle)
• Please park the trailers close together (10 feet apart). We do not have room for everyone to spread their boats all over. Plan to store them on the trailer, as opposed to slings.
