Title: Petite nation after work this week?
Post by: waverider on May 13, 2012, 09:17:23 PM
The petite nation is at 43, nice level to play in the upper canyon. Anyone interested to do a run after work this week. On the river at 5pm out by 7:30pm. Let me know.

Richard, I would be intrested. Although, given the traffic situation in that area, the start time would have to be bit later and flexible. Meeting at Montee Paiement Tim Hortons between 4:45 and 5:15. Best effort aim at 4:45, but whomever gets there calmly waits. I would likely take a bridge east of Portage and hopefully get there quicker, but last year's experience with more than an hour crawl between Portage and Montee Paiement can't be ignored. Wednesday or later would work for me, although sooner the better- water level is likely to drop.

Hi Cindy,
It's realy easy to find. When you get off the highway at Montee Paiement turn right (towards the river) and you will see large shopping center with TH on the parking lot. See map below:

 (unless Richard, since he started the post, has a different plan)

Ah, got it, I though this was still in deliberation.  So get there by 4h45 and panic half an hour after if no one shows up.  Sounds like a good plan!  ;)
I have an Orange Nissan Murano, can't miss it, really. 
It's still dropping though... 41.

Thursday at 4:30 pm please, it's a 50 minutes drive to the put-in plus a 1.5 to 2 hour run. Even if the river drops under 40 I don't mind, I haven't gone out much this season. The meeting point is at the Tim horton's, IGA shopping centre on mont? paiement just of the 50. Call me to confirm.

Robert, can you leave work a bit early.  I don't want to be on the river past 5:30pm, 5:45 pm at the latest, security reason for the paddlers. Hope you can make it.

Uh.. not on a short notice. The river will be there next year (and hopefully extra lane on the highway). Have fun,
Robert
