But it is not in the same canyon we are running.. the one we are running looks like this one.. about the same level.. a little more!

Then it's setup, let's go Sunday!!!  I have done the Rouge 20 years ago in a big raft, I have no memory about it except the big canyon wave that we watch ashore, we were not allowed to do it but it left a big impression on me.  So I'm all in for some scouting and chances to chicken out.

Any suggestion for a meeting point?

[JohnCyr]

Yep! Dimanche serait bien!

[CaroDulu]

Dimanche?
Cindy et moi on a notre AGA ce soir!

So which day? I haven't got my Villain wet since September...

[JohnCyr]

As long as there is someone with a throwbag below and another boater than is confident enough to chase a boat if a swim occurs... Then its all good! I bailed on running the seventh sister last time I was there... Ive been kicking myself ever since too! HAHAHA

[Falls]

If my playboating mission falls through, I'd do les sept soeurs again.  I chickened out of the washing machine at 69, and have been kicking myself ever since.  If it's 63, I really should execute it.

[JohnCyr]

If we go to the rouge.. I actually want to stop and scout the rapids.. take our time...take pictures..Even set safety if needed! Most likely at the washing machine!

Last Time I ran it.. it was quick.. during a thunderstorm.. and blind. All went well...theres nothing you cant scout from your boat... but it also wouldve been fun to take time and enjoy the scenery! 

If we get a big enough group, it could make for an awesome day out on the river!

Paul, Christian, Jacques, Kelly, Daniel?

[CaroDulu]

Cindy, I may want to go do the Rouge again, would you be willing to give it a try?

[JohnCyr]

Sounds good! I have some people from Montreal that I think are going to run the rouge seven sisters canyon!..Not sure of their plans yet! But the Ottawa sounds just as fun! The main is nice and big, yet forgiving!
