Title: Ottawa Main Saturday late start
Post by: Micratech on August 15, 2013, 12:31:32 PM

As discussed at Beast Feast, I am proposing a raft avoidance 12:30 meet at WT takeout Saturday.
Optional: the usual carpool from Eagleson OC Transpo 11AM.

Forecast look excellent!  Sunny, 25 feeling like 29.

Yes I'm interested paddling the Ottawa with either a late or later start Saturday or Sunday, and wanting to car pool, leaving my gas guzzler in town, ( ideally nearer Scott and Churchill, or Kirkwood at Carling if someone is coming from the east.)

12:30 at WT take out sounds fine.

could I tag along? I am not a member, but would be happy to pay a guest fee/gas or whatever puts me in good graces -- I am relocating to Asia in ten days. I have a (smallish) car with roofrack as well.

I believe the level was at 1.5 according to Owl (Aug 14)

You mean minus 1.5?  or did the level rise?

For August 14, the level was 1.5'

I?ve just spoken with Mike (alias Micratech), Adam and Hans.  Mike might have to bow out due to other commitments.  Tomorrow, Adam will have dropped his boat at the top when he meets Hans and me at the WT take-out at 12:30, effectively completing the shuttle.  Since Hans and I are much east of Eagleson, we will be travelling together, and bypass Eagleson, unless there is a last minute joiner.  If you would like to car pool and have not made other arrangements, please feel free to phone me at 613 759-8348 before 10:40 am, such as tonight up til 00:30, or after 9am.  Otherwise we?ll see you at the river.

I would like to come along today.  I need to stop at OPS before so could meet Doug and Hans somewhere in that area and go from there.  I could bring a minivan which will comfortably take the 3 of us plus 1 or 2 others if required.  Doug I will call you at 9:00 to finalize arrangements.

I anyone else would like to join and meet us at the Eagleson Park and Ride, please let Doug or I know by phone (for me 613-723-1240 at home or 613-979-2130 cell).
