I'd be able to go on Tuesday too (anytime really). Would need to share a ride though. Is anyone going by Sandy Hill?

Here's the map location that Mark was trying to post

http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=45.267245,-76.250417&spn=0.010451,0.018303&t=h&z=16

The center of the map is just about where you put in.

25 minitues from kanata park and ride , just out of Almonte  , a great place to practice river running/creeking skills, next weekend sounds good ,let me know if you want to head out  ;D.

 not sure if this link will work , but just go to Almonte on google maps, take martin street north to the end and look on blakney road , you can zoom in on rapids. the one on the left is the main one that is pretty long , you just carry back up on trail.

I don't have a map but I think Mark actually has a video, or maybe it was Ray C.

 Coulden't make the Black today so dusted off the ol' Micro 230 and went to Blakney  , lots of eddie hopping , holes etc... a little boof at the end of the run, great creeking practice , I imagine it will be up for a month hopefully.  There is a large strainer near the top , so was putting in just below this , you will see it if you go to where the main flow turns the corner at the top (walk over beaver dam)
 A nice place for Paul to try out his 14th creekboat.
