Whoops my bad, Saturday for the Petawawa. We also have confirmation that we will be running the upper petawawa on saturday. Myself, Graham, and Brad Wipp are going to meet at the corner of Doran Rd and Baron Canyon Rd Saturday morning at 8am, there is a parking lot on the south east corner. http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=doran+rd+and+barron+canyon+rd&hnear=Doran+Rd+%26+Baron+Canyon+Rd,+Petawawa,+Renfrew+County,+Ontario+K8A+6W7&gl=ca&t=h&z=16

from there its about a 2 hour drive into algonquin park, $13 at the gate per car, 4km shuttle, then a 4km hike with boats so we'll be looking at a start time of 11ish, and 2-4 hours to run the river. level is at 3.1 and is within the ideal range to run.

Duck, did you mean Saturday for the Pet?
If someone can give me the grid for put in and take out, I feel comfortable taking people down the Upper

For those paddlers who want to do the Petawawa with us on Sunday there is a possibility of running the Upper section instead of the town section. It's a bit of a hike but it's worth while. We'd be tagging along with Phil Kompass if he's in town.

If not we're going to stick with the original plan of the town section.

Also, my offer still stands for those city folk who want to crash at my place between rivers to save driving back and forth for each river. I've got mattresses, futons, air mattresses and lots of blankets. Let me know so I have stuff ready! Cheers!

Anybody else besides John C. and I who would like to carpool from Bates Island on Sunday?

[ChristianG]

There is only one put-in, Owl free put-in above McKoys rapids. You decide where to go after McKoys...

[bastien86]

where is the put-in for the middle chanel?

[JohnCyr]

Im in for Sunday and would love to carpool from Bates Island.

Im out for Saturday as I have way to many things to do and way too little money.

If the Ottawa is above 9, id like to run the middle. If its below that, Id be keen to run the main with 1-2 other strong boaters. If no one is in for the main, then ill gladly run the middle!

[Jeremy Poulin]

Makes more sense to meet at put in, dump gear, and then run shuttle

[wyszard]

Yes lets say at 10:30 am at Farmer Black's (Farmer John usually refers to your wetsuit) takeout on Sunday morning.
Is everyone OK with that ?
