Hey Bill,

I'm in for Monday.  Now if I can just find my kayak.....

Not sure about Monday as the family will all gather outside Valleyfield on Sunday.
So, looking forward for the Archigan and carpooling for tomorrow.

Hi Bill.

I am definitely in for the Monday paddle. Too bad I will be missing the Achigan, after hearing about it so much from Paul...

Hi folks,

After discussing with several people, we have come up with the following:

Friday: Rivere Achigan,  class 2 - 3+ river with some larger drops that can easily be carried around

This one is located in the Laurentians about 2.25 hours from Ottawa.

here's a Google Maps link to the meeting spot in New Glasgow Qc.

Based a trip that Late Ray and some other folks were on today. the Bonniebroooke was very low today and will probably
be unrunnable by Monday. Please contact me Sunday evening for Monday's paddling destination.


Any questions or suggestions, call me at home after 7:00 Pm Thursday evening or e-mail me
at wwpaddler@gmail.com
