Title: Trick or treat Falls anyone?
Post by: CaroDulu on August 19, 2013, 07:38:00 AM

Hi,

I have never ran the trick or treat falls in Quyon and want to run them.
I was by there yesterday and took pictures to show the level that it is sitting at.

I don't know what it is supposed to look like when it is runnable!
Is it too low?
If the level is good, I'd like to go this week (Thursday evening maybe)

Cheers,
Caroline

This is a very good level. I can go Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday... Below is a picture taken on August 26th 2008, for comparison. Me first, then Paul in one of his many Jackson Superstars...

That's a great picture of Paul!
I miss you on the river Paul!!!

Yes, Christian, the level from your picture compares very well from the level on my pictures.
I can go Tuesday and Thursday.

I can leave my place as soon as 4pm, be there for 5pm roughly (depending on the traffic!)

So guys: Tomorrow?
Meeting place: my house 232 Alexandre Tache?
for carpooling?

I unfortunately was busy this week and couldn't make it but really want to try this spot out as an intro to running a drop. Saturday afternoon or Monday evening perhaps if the level is holding. If anyone is interested I'm in Ottawa and can carpool.

It was my first time there and I had a blast! I will definitely go again. Thanks for the great pictures! Here are my images of Tuesday:

Well, you're left with memories, many weren't so lucky:  http://whatstheharm.net/chiropractic.html for a partial list.

Seriously, at your next visit, ask your chiropractor if he has malpractice insurance. Because it would really suck if you end up in a wheelchair from a stroke caused by a neck artery damaged during an 'adjustment', but the chiropractor declares bankrupcy to avoid paying you the damage money awarded by the court...
