Topic: Playboating session(s) with Billy Harris - Late June?

[lafreniere.luc]

3pm please . Thanks.

Hopefully this won't affect us other than increased traffic - Storyland is the usual route.
Luc - pick you up at 3PM?

For everyone's information, highway 17 is now closed for most of the day from Chenaud rd to Forester Falls rd due to a fatal accident today. People may want to double check their routes since it may not be possible to go past Chenaud. Storyland which turns to Queens Line may be a good alternative. Be prepared. It's on CBC news Ottawa.

Thanks for the update.

There is no longer a sign on the gate.

It has been open for a while, just be respectful of the river run and wilderness tours lunch spot.

Also a new trail has been made for paddlers to use as a put in to avoid the river run and WT put in, as they are both a little upset about paddlers using the put in.

The Lorne put in:

Go past River Run and the Wilderness Tour takeouts (McKoys' Rd).  Proceed about half the distance to the McKoys's put in (which we use to run the whole river).
 
After you pass the field on the long straight stretch there is a dirt road on the right side with a sign (I think its yellow sign for OWL rafting) for the Lorne put in.   Its easy to miss, so proceed slowly. 

Billy has assured us that we are permitted to use the Lorne put in.   Just say we are doing a clinic with Billy Harris if anyone asks.  (FYI - the Lorne refers to the rapid which comprises Garburator and Waikiki)

Here's a recent note by Billy on the current status of this put-in:

I now where.

[Cindy D]

Yeah, I am not so sure either where is the park and play spot. I always run the river when I go there.

[kvr99]

Oh yeah, Mike ... if you could please post specifics as to how to get to the put-in, that would be great.    Tx   -k

[kvr99]

Perfect!  We're on - see y'all there.  -k

[Cindy D]

ok, I'll go with the yound blood and try to not get exhausted before the session. 

[kvr99]

Hey guys,

It's looking like park 'n play for me as well.

Given previous posts, may I suggest for carpooling:

Cindy with Martin for early start on Babyface;
Kurt with Marc, for park and play at Pushbutton at 5.

Marc, if ok with you, perhaps you could swing by my place on the way (it's right off the Queensway on the way for you).  Please call me 729-3812 to confirm.

[Micratech]

Oops!  I meant Pushbutton!  Please be there at 5PM sharp. 

[marcg]

I have decided to do just the park & play so I will take my truck and see you guys there.  I will be leaving from Hull at around 2:30 - 3:00

[Martink]

Its at 5 at push button.
