I am coming to for the weekend - hopefully coming up Friday night.

Can I pay my $15 by cheque when I get there.

My June Wells will be in London UK for the Olympics & her family for the next month - so I'd welcome NOT cooking while becoming a better w-w kayaker at Beast Feast. I'll have space in my Subaru Forester for another kayak and a passenger; maybe 2 passengers IF my new virgin Fluid Nemesis does fit in the back without needing the passenger seat down like my Big EZ does.

Leaving Saturday morning  from downtown on 11th AUG about 9am to 10am and will spend an hour in Cantley on the way to have my headlight re-laminated.

I'll sleep in my car, I have no tent.

Anyone want to ride up with me? Down too?

So, I have convinced my wife Sheila to come to Beast Feast with my nephew Martin & myself. However there is a caveat, she doesn't want to do any whitewater paddling, so I am going to bring both our touring & whitewater boats, and do 1 day of whitewater & 1 day of touring with her.

Has anyone paddled below the Bonnet Rouge camp grounds, I know that there are some small rapids around the bridge at Bouchette, but I have seen power boats going through this without consequences. As far as I can tell it looks like flat water below the campgounds with no rapids above a class 2. If any one who has paddled this before could confirm this it would be nice.

Of course if anyone is bringing any family who are not whitewater paddlers, then they are more than welcome to join us in a canoe or kayak. I am thinking that maybe if Tibor is coming he could bring his wife with her touring kayak.

J-N we have some spare equipment, paddles, lifejackets etc. left over from when my daughters were paddling, & I still have a Necky Jive that is an excellent beginners boat for messing around &/or learning to roll in, so if you are interested then come over to our place to pick up the gear.

Hi, although I volunteered I never formally said I was going.  I am going!

I was wondering about the camping details -- this may be obvious to others but I am a newbie... do individuals contact Bonnet Rouge to arrange camping or have sites been picked out already?  Also, who else is going Friday -- I would appreciate following you...

Just show up at Bonnet Rouge, no reservation needed. Typically the club camps in the main plain in the corner near the path to the river.

Is anybody bringing young kids?  I'm trying to convince Candace to come with Amelie (our 2 year old) but Candace is wondering if there will be any other kids to hang out with while we're running the river.

I'm trying to convince my wife an 16 month old son to come.  I'll keep you posted.

Aug 07 update: I'm out for this weekend.  My wife has commited us to another function on Saturday.  Maybe next year.

Of course Paul will wear his thongs, this has now become an irrevocable tradition for Beast Feast. He has even been so busy with getting some tan on those exposed areas that he has not been able to show up for any or our recent outings, poor him! But I'm sure it was worth the effort. Paul, I'm looking forward to finally catching up with you!
