Title: paddling this weekend
Post by: liz edwards on July 28, 2010, 07:30:53 PM

If anyone wants to paddle sometime this weekend or park and play at pushbutton, let me know. I could be tempted.

How about the Gatineau on Saturday?
The Ottawa will be full of out-of-towners...

Hey does a trip to the Gatineau include a stop at the binerie? Poutine and baked beans to bring home?!!! Do you want to carpool Bill?

Hi, I am a new member and would like to join you this weekend, if you wouldn't mind to take a newcomer. I've never paddled the Gatineau - how difficult is it as compared to the Main Channel of the Ottawa river?
Thanks,
Dani

It's not any harder and at this point, it is so low that I'm sure it's easy though probably bony in spots. We haven't seen it yet though.

Ok, sounds tempting. When and where are you going to leave?

We usually meet at Bonnet Rouge at 10:30 AM.
Drive time is about 1 3/4 hours from Ottawa.
We can work out meeting time/location and rides on Friday evening.

I may be interested in parking and playing on Sunday. Is there a way to reach you?

I'll be heading home around 1pm on Sunday, but will do session in the morning. You can try me at 613-913-8757 (I don't get a great signal, but it does work every now and then).
