Title: Pumphouse Thursday night
Post by: mmm_puddin on September 10, 2008, 10:26:52 PM
Well I know most of you guys paddle Champlain Thursday night,  but there is no water left there.  So Sean and I are heading to the pumphouse on Wellington and Bronson.  Should be fun.  Probabbly get there around 5:30 at the earliest and paddle until dark,  so come on out and have some fun!

for those that done know the pump house is a class 2 with like 300metres of contineous eddy hoping fun.  aweseom to practices those old river running skills you dont get on the Ottawa.  anyone can do it.  its fun,  and u can walk back up and do it as many times as you want!

so come on out,  have some fun.

John

parking is free on Wellington between Fleet and Commisioner!  paddling is $5 honor system in the black box by the gate of the rapids

Hi John & all

Not sure if you know or if it matters in terms of respecting ORR's "modest scheduling restrictions" but the ORR sched says there is a swift water rescue techicians course on at the pumhouse Thu nite.

According to my information, the SRT course is at the National Archives Thursday and Friday nights for their "ground school" component

How do you get there exactly?  I don't think I have the car tonight, but at least I'll know for future reference...

Hi Dave,

Do you want a lift there now? I think we can figure out where to go.
