No prob! Ill go work on that pumpkin farm close to my house and earn a few extra dollars tomorrow night! Perhaps that will get me closer to buy my cooler warmer paddling gear! hahaha

Let me know if you plan on heading out there thursday or friday!

It looks like it will be Wednesday since the Thursday forecast is rain now.

To get to the Lorne parking spot you go a few km past the take out and
then after you pass some open fields there is a ridge with a line of trees
and the driveway is there. There is a sign on it. If you get to the put in
you went too far. It's not hard to find.

If you want to come by my place ( which is more or less on the way )
there is room in my van to carpool.

Garb Wed or Thurs this week

According to the OKS site the level was up some so Garb is good.
My son and I are planning to go up for a surf one day this week
after he gets out of school.
Leaving Carp about 2:15, arrive there 3:15 (times approximate)
Does anyone want to join us?
