I'd love to go, but I'm heading to Parry Sound and Killarney on Tuesday for 5 days on Georgian Bay.  So Saturday I need to finish getting all my gear together.  If I manage to get enough done tomorrow evening, I'll join you Saturday.

Hi,
Why are you canceling?
Is it due to the rain forecast? Or lack of people?

I have not received any interest yet in Sunday so was going to switch and join you on Sat.

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Bruce.

Excellent, I'll probably join you.

Bill, you already carpooling with someone?

From a trip that was almost cancelled, it turned into a pretty good time. Ryan and Steve got introduced to the river and enjoyed it. The river level was actually 9 not 6 as listed on the web page so the Bonnet Rouge surf wave is not quite in yet. With a nice level and some sun at lunch time, it turned out well. Catching the shuttle with the Bonnet Rouge rafting trip was an added bonus.

Glad you all had fun! Went to the Rouge Jamboree instead. I bet the Gatineau was very quiet, compared to the 230 people attending the jamboree... Cheers!
