I'm up for going wherever but it would be nice to do something new... I posted on the myosis forum to see if someone would want to do the 7 sisters section of the rouge this weekend. I would really like to do this one before the end of the season because I heard it was really fun with spring high water but would rather do it at a normal level for my first time. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

As it turns out Rob Zwanenburg from the Cornwall whitewater club is running the rouge on Saturday and doesn't mind if other people tag along. The only problem is I need a ride as usual...

Same here: I'm up for the Rouge, but would not want to bike there with my kayak...

Hey Chris if no one else decides to tag along you could always drive the truck I don't think Chantal will be needing it Saturday.

Cleo, I could drive the truck. Maybe Sunday would be better then. It's supposed to be raining Saturday. Plus we might be able to bring that old bearded guy with the green boat with us then.

Adam, the Rouge river Seven Sisters take out is right into the Ottawa river east of here, near Papineauville. It's not far.

I have a new playboat to try too.

Chris if you want to drive the truck that would be great. I would rather join the group that is already heading down there on Saturday as they know the river, can run shuttle with us and it's always fun to paddle with new people. We could always go check out the rouge on Saturday and go back there or elsewhere with Louis on Sunday. There are not too many paddling days left let's take advantage of the time we have.

Ok. Let's take the truck, and hope that it will make it to the river...

Hey don't let the rust and the purple paint job fool you. This is one bad ass truck. It will make it to the river and we probably won't even need to push it.

If anyone else wants to join us we are meeting in the parking lot on the north east side of the bridge crossing the rouge (hwy 148) at 10:30am.
