[JohnCyr]

Yep! Adam chappell! This guy will get you where you wanna be for the level six cup! Watch him, listen to him when he teaches u stuff! Youre a great paddler and you learn quick! Alot of potential man! I just spoke to brandon! Ill see you guys tomorrow!

[Martink]

No Adam wasn't there you mean Adam Chappel, not sure if that is the guy he didn't say who but he was talking about him so I presume so.

[JohnCyr]

Yup brandon. Did the other guy have a yellow boat? Adam?

[Martink]

Ok thnx John and by the way, hope you don't mind we might have 2 more paddlers coming one of them is for sure is coming but the other one might not he is not sure yet! You said he was your friend Brandon, we are picking him up tomorrow then driving up with him/maybe the other guy.

See you there! 

[JohnCyr]

Martin! Youll be just fine in the canyon! Straight forward n fun!

[coolfarmer816]

Martin and Richard: I did it maybe 20 times and if we stop scout the canyon and the hell's gate there is no way that we could do 2 runs.... maybe two times the canyon because tis a short walk but not more,..

See you tomorow with all the sun!

Ok but do you think I will have any trouble on the first canyon.

[JohnCyr]

Well.. If we dont mess around and play too much, it could be donw if we put in at noon. The first canyon is the best for sure.. so walking it up would also be a great option! Well see!

the level is now 34 cms by the way! Much nice than 25! 

[Martink]

Yes John lots of fun fun fun if you don't mind, we will see when we get there but can we run the river 2 times its really up to you but me and Richard would like to run it twice but it dose not really matter, just a suggestion!

[JohnCyr]

Wow! Weird! Petite nation has been dry all summer and its now sitting at 26.5 cms and going up +1 cms an hour today! We might get higher water which means more fun! 35 cms is quite different than at 25! Fun fun!

I'm out for this weekend for the Petite Nation.  Too cold for class 2-3 for me. 

[JohnCyr]

Alright folks!

Sunday

River: Petite Nation http://www.quebecwhitewater.com/en/river-level?task=view&id=9
Time: 11:30 AM
Place: Meet at the bridge take out: http://maps.google.ca/maps?q=plaisance+quebec&hl=en&ll=45.650716,-75.112334&spn=0.003607,0.006877&sll=45.053774,9.695142&sspn=0.233321,0.44014&vpsrc=6&hnear=Plaisance,+Papineau+Regional+County+Municipality,+Quebec&t=h&z=17
Take the 148 all the way to the flashing light in Plaisance, turn left on Mtee Papineau all the way to chemin des cascades and turn left. Past the woodbridge will be a parking spot on the right.

Directives: Folks, I hate to be a pain about this but keep in mind were in Mid-December. Have your float bags, throw line, proper cold weather gear. Some rapids are long and swimming at this time of year could have major consequences if setup isnt proper, even if this is only class 3.

We will meet at 11:30, get dressed, leave our clothes in the dry car and hop on 8kms upstream to the put in.
We can either run the canyon many times and then paddle down OR we can do 2 runs of the river. Well see how we feel on that day!

The land is frozen, therefore, the water will be clean at this time of year.

Confirmed so far:

Me
Daniel
Caro
Martin
Richard

[Martink]

Well I still thing it is going to be one of my best rivers this year, even thought the water isn't the cleanest, and who thought that we would be paddling in December!

[coolfarmer816]

lets wait on JN instruction!

Martin: it will be fun but.... the Petite Nation is not the .... more clean.. river that I know...... 

next spring we should do the 21 miles section of the Rouge  up North!!
