Hey guys! turns out I camped and Horizon X with CJ. We headed there Thursday for an evening paddle but we didnt quite make it till dark.. So Brandon CJ and I made it a moonlit paddle. Romantic! Then we got woken up at 7am and asked to safety kayak for the trip. We ran the main and the only person we saw was Adam. Seeing that there was a 8 group trip and plenty of hot college girls.. we stayed at HX for the night and were asked to safety again the next day.. CJ's knee being shattered to pieces from jumping a 100ft bridge... We decided to Solo raft it just the two of us in a 13" raft and set safety for the others. We had a mean surf in Horseshoe while all the WT were trying hard to get in but did quite make it! Lots were cheering! Thought Id see some of you guys but it was 1pm. We also got trashed in Chopping block and I cut up my knee big time! We had a really steezy line down Coliseum as well! Sweet ferries and back ferries! Also awesome surfs at Blacks! Then I headed back to camp for more Hot college girls and food... Then left for Montreal as I had planned! Sorry I didnt get to see any of you guys! Most definately will at Beast Feast!  ;D

I think this mini-beast feast was more busy than many beast feasts!  It was so great to see everyone!
Thanks to everyone for 'coordinating my stuff' (Robert, Dave & Candace, Kelly, Rob) , the beer (Dom!) and for making me laugh:)

Chantal and I had a good time as well.
Lots of sunshine and brunt skin, but fresh night of camping.
Great to see everyone again.
Warming my heart to see the Dej's gang playing at S Bend and doing so well down the other rapids.

Chantal and I went sea kayaking above the put in on Sunday, then watched Phil swallow people and rafts, then there was an epic sea kayak decent down Horse Shoe and slowly back to the car on the back side to the put-in with a good current handling workout for Chantal.

Peachy weekend!

To add to Paul's TR

There were numerous conversations with Phil, but not any outright arguments - seems Phil was in a good mood. Tibor and Thomas Dej as per usual, were the focal point for the apres paddle socializing. The sausages were awesome - hit the spot. Thanks guys. Thanks Julia for the use of your bug shelter. Louis D. has taken the spot of current singles ping pong champion over Tibor D. after they both dumped their partners shortly into the doubles competition (Paul and me respectively). The competitors complained vehemently that the equipment was far below international standards so I wouldn't be surprised to see a rematch in the near future. Thanks Wendy for the nice line down "Colly" and Andy apologizes to Liz for having his unmanned boat surf along with with you (on Colly) ;D. Nice to see Dave Candice and Amily Jackson. Finally, we finished off in style with a Poutine run at the Four Corners just as we were heading home. Give it a try if you haven't - local beef for their burgs and local potats for the poutine.

Couldn't ask for more - gorgeous weather, good river level (at least for running), and seeing friends, some of whom haven't been out in a while.

I plan on going up tomorrow morning (Sat), leaving the West end at about 8:00 to be at River Run about 10:00.

I have room to bring others but I will not be going directly back to Ottawa on Sunday so I can't really bring anyone back.

My wife (Chantal) and I will be coming as well - from Montreal - way too hot here.
We are bringing sea kayaks and a SStar for me to play boat.

Intending to hook up for the 10h30 RR meet time.
