Title: Petite Nation this Saturday?
Post by: Bill Schlarb on May 05, 2016, 10:15:32 PM

Some folks have been talking about running the Petite on Saturday, more than likely it will be a late morning start.
Plans aren't firmed up yet so if you'd like to go, please add your name to this thread and we'll go with whatever the group decides.

Sure I'd be in. As long as I'm on the water, I'll bring a smile.

I'm interested, but not too early. The river level is dropping but is still quite high:

If its later in the PM and someone has a boat for me (large), id join!

Im up there hunting from 5 am to noon ish and have to put in a couple hours work in the garden before I can play. Otherwise, I can help run shuttle if needed or play banjo by the river when you pass our land lol

Hi folks,

Based on everyone's feedback it looks like a very late morning start should work.
With it being only a 45 minute drive from downtown Ottawa, let's say 11:30am at the takeout.
GPS co-ordinates for the take out are:  45.651557, -75.115328

Please feel free to use this thread to arrange rides etc.

Bill

RVG, I can see doing a couple of laps of the lower part of the 1st canyon and some play time around there, but not 2 laps of the river.
I am not sure what to expect for play spots.

Bruce.
