Hi folks,
Rumours are confirmed, the Upper Petawawa is a go for this Saturday.
Meeting place is the Irving Truck Stop at the corner of Hwy 17 & 41 just south of Pembroke at 8:45 AM.
http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=m&lat=45.796494&lon=-77.116814&zoom=14Those wanting to grab breakfast there should figure to arrive by 8:00 AM.
Give yourself 1.5+ hours to get there at legal highway speeds.
The river is class 3 - 4 with a few larger drops to spice things up.
It won't be as high as a few weeks ago so there should be less carnage...
Bring walking shoes, lots of water, bug juice and some method of carrying or dragging
your creeker or river running boat the 4 km to the put-in. Saturday is forecast to be 29 degrees so be prepared for a warm walk.
Planning to go so far are: Rob Monti, Ben Turcotte, Larry Wong, Jeremy Poulin, Grahame H. and myself.
Rides can be arranged for those who need one.
Call me at home after 6:00 PM at (613) 224-8507 to confirm or get more info.
Bill
