The Lower Mad works for me Friday April 2.  I will be in Palmer tonight 613-758-2652.  I just need a shuttle buddy to make it a go. Just let me know what time.

Hi folks,

With the summer-like weather we're getting, there isn't too much in the way of spring rivers but it's not July yet....

Friday April 2

 A few of us would like to get out tomorrow and here are a few options

 - Moose river in NY, running just under 5' on the McKeever gauge, class 3-4

 - Hudson River in NY, running at 6' on the North Creek gauge but it's hard to tell if water is being
   released into the Indian River so getting to the Hudson could be an issue

- Lower Madawaska, running around 100 cms good running level with some nice play spots.

 - Petite Nation, running at 30 cms; a good warmup run if you haven't been out yet

 Contact me at home after 6:00 PM tomight at (613) 224-8507


Saturday April 3

We are going to run the Lower Petawawa starting at the Gravel Pit in (Google/GPS co-ordinates
45.887559,-77.309933), Meet time will be 10:30 . The Lower Pet is class 3-4 and is a great mix of river running and play spots.If you need more info  or want to share a ride call me at home after 8:00pm on Friday night.

Monday April 5

Some people have expressed interest in going back to the Great Chazy in NY since the levels have risen nicely.
It's a class 3-4 river with 2 larger drops that can be carried around , 2.5 hour drive from Ottawa
Call me Sunday afternoon or evening for more info.
