If people want to carpool, may I suggest meeting at my house, 87 Goulburn in Sandy Hill, at 8:00? From there it's a short jump to HW 5... Call 613 355 2470 anytime.

Hi Christian,

I was thinking of going but was probably going to drive up myself.. I looked on google.  There appears to be a rafting company there?

Bonnet Rouge is 1) the last rapid, 2) the take-out and 3) the rafting company/campground. So see you there!

Dani, Daniel... It takes 1:30 from my house to the Tim Hortons in Hawkesbury via HW 417. For carpooling, we can meet at my house again (87 Goulburn) at 8:15, say. Or whatever else you can suggest. --C.

Good. Bill and I will swing by the Tim Hortons in case someone's there, and we'll see you at the take-out. Barbara, Dirk and Jacques will be there too. The level will be around 50, which is considerably lower and easier than a few weeks ago... --C.
