J'y vais encore cette ann?e assur?ment. :)

Bump
The level is a bit high right now at +140 cms, but with not that much rain in the forecast and the levels already dropping things will likely be ~ 100 by the weekend.
-
Thanks for original posting Christian and Dave for refreshing. If the river calms down, I would be intrested. I understand, it's too late to sign up for the package with the supper. Is there any other registration deadline?

I would like to join you if the river won't be more suicidal than the Kipawa...

Hi all.
I have run the river above this level in a playboat and survived quite well (although some others in the group barely did). If it stays well above 100 m^3/s during the coming weekend, I will bring my creek boat and would suggest others do so as well. Last Thursday, three of us we ran it at 110 m^3/s and the river wasn't more difficult than we know it, just different--of course I was happy to be in my big boat. I would say it is easier than the big rapids on the Kipawa.
My plans are to go up Friday, camp there and run the river 2-3 times Saturday (the shuttle runs all day), then camp again. Unfortunately, I can not run the river on Sunday as I have to press on to Montreal and beyond...
There is no need to register before the event, just show up with your money and your gear! The party on Saturday is great, and you will make new friends!
Hoping to see you all there,
--Christian

So... Is anyone interested?
-
I'm in. Don't have a creeker yet but hope I'll survive in my Fuse.

Oh, and by the way--a friend has a Bliss-Stick Huka creek boat, and may be convinced to sell it since it is clearly too small for him. It has about 67 gallons in volume, so is well suited to a very small male, or a regular female paddler:

The boat has generally good review. If interested, let me know!

I keep checking the gauge and should the downward trend continue I will go. I will reasonably know by Thursday, after the rain. If I decide to go, I will go Friday.
Robert

BTW, camping there is comfortable, with bathrooms etc.

I so much loved Martin's Dagger Nomad with the build-in stay-upright warranty that I think this will be my boat, but thanks for suggesting the Huka!

The two boats are very similar.
-
I'm in for the Jamboree as long as everyone else is still going. Dani? Christian? As it is now, my plan is to leave Friday later in the afternoon and camp untill Sunday. After the event on Sunday, I won't be going straight back to town.
Robert
-
I am going for sure on Friday, maybe paddle Friday night if shuttle is possible, paddle Saturday too, and leave Sunday going east. --C.
-
The level is dropping, by about 10 m^3/s/day. It's now 120, should be around 100 on Saturday. Which boat should I bring?

Great! I will leave Friday after work and will get there around 6 or later depending on trafic. Which area will you camp?
Robert
-
Camping... Unless it's full, left and up the trail from the parking lot that is across from the house/barn. It's in the trees, so there is plenty of shade. There is often a bonfire at the end of that section.
-
My sense of orientation is terrible - not sure if worse on or off water...
Christian, is there a map anywhere online telling me where to go?
Dani
-
Dani, I'm posting from the phone and can't link, but first post of this tread includes link to jamborre website that include directions.
Robert
P.s.
If the question refers to on-site directions, I'm going blindly as well hoping that once there I will get it
-
I'm in and I would like to share a ride.
Cindy
-
Jim and I are interested but would like to meet up with a least other paddler w/car for a shuttle since we're planning to go for Saturday only.
Anyone else planning to paddle Saturday only?
Bill
-
Yes, I might be interested to join for Saturday only, or drive on Saturday and camp and come back Sunday, have not yet decided.
Cindy, when and for how long were you planning to go?
Dani

I plan on going Saturday morning, paddle all day, party all nigth, camp and, depending on the result, paddle Sunday or come back home. I don't think running the Rouge at 100+ on a hangover is a good idea. I will use the shuttle service provided by the Jamboree organizers.

Similar plans (although not necessarily re the hangover). Where do you live? Do you want to share a ride? Any other takers?
Dani
-
I'm heading up today as per my earlier post and will set up the tent following Christain's directions.
We will need to coordinate morning meeting somehow. I'm not familiar with the place (nor the event) so it's best someone else calls the shot, I'm nominating Christian since he's been there before.
Robert
-
Camping+party+parking+put-in: all at the same place.
-
The river is still well above 100 at 126. Bring your big boats.
Dani, I live in Hull, we can meet at 8h00 or so at my place tomorrow morning, I need to sleep enough to face this river. Here is my address:

Call me (or try anyway, if there is service) tomorrow at 613-355-2470 to coordinate the first run!
-
A group of us are meeting at the takeout on Hwy 148 at 10:00 if anyone else wants to meet there.
Bill
-
Bill etc.: When do you think you will be ready to put-in? 10:30? 11:00? We will be waiting for you at the put-in just downstream of Esther's house. I don't have cell phone service, if needed call Robert: 613-791-7774. Cheers!

Ok, I'll come to your place around 8. This should give us lots of time to be at the take out and meet Bill at 10 AM. My cell phone number is 613-6086471. My texting is even worse than my kayaking...
See you tomorrow,
Dani
