I can bring one person and my car is pretty good on gas. I live in downtown Ottawa (Sandy Hill), give me a call at 613 355 2470 anytime to arrange something. Or come to Champlain/Whispers tonight!

--C.

PS The level will be around 7-9 on the Owl gauge. Easy middle channel or big main channel. McKoy's will be challenging...

[Paul Potvin]

Oops, yeah, those too...

IIRC its still pretty darn big a +9! hahaha  Unfortunately I cant make it this early and ill be with a rookie paddler as well.

[Falls]

I've never had the pleasure of running the main channel above about 0.  Is anyone interested in an early put-in at the Lorne (say around 8:00) for a main channel run before the main event at 10:00?
