Some answers...

Colby...You do need to be a paid up member to attend Beast Feast. You can pay your dues on the site by clicking in the top left corner "click here to renew your membership". Here you will find the waiver which is absolutely necessary and you can fwd funds via Paypal. Barring this sign the waiver and bring the dues cash to the Beast Feast and you can give it to me (Kelly), Bill or Christian. Fifteen bucks is a very small price to pay for all this networking and a great free scoff plus all the other fringe benefits of the best ww paddling club around :)

What to bring?... Go with the suggestions on the original posting. Some people are volunteering already so I'll sort out who's doing what and we'll fill in the empty spaces as we go. There will be lots to do - thanks for the interest.

Liz...Yes, the tiara. You realize I have been wearing the tiara, at least in spirit that is. But of course I will ceremoniously accept the real thing at the BF. I have been working on my scalenes and upper traps in order to support the additional weight...lol

Hope this is helpful,
Kelly

I will be passing you the tiara at Beastfeast, Kelly as you are now VP. You have to wear it. Not only is a tradition (since way back in 2011) but it is necessary to authenticate one's commanding presence. You just can't wave to the masses. You have to organize them into labour pools. There's corn to be husked after all.  Potatoes to be wrapped in foil. Beer caps to be pried from the mud.

The tiara is not light, my friend. It is heavy, heavy with responsibility.

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 can't wait. Mr. Wong, I can help you on the Friday night...I plan to head up then.
Fire ban is a good question, but what if there is no water in the river??

Rain has been falling in the Upper Gatineau Valley, we caught some rain when running the shuttle at the
end of the day.

The level was at 3.5' on the Bonnet Rouge gauge, low but still lots of fun.
The surfing at the lunch stop and Bonnet Rouge was great.

Since the Gatineau is dam controlled, it won't run out of water.

Absolutely looking forward to this one!  But just a quick thought.  A fire ban was just announced across all of Algonquin park.   Might be best to confirm this on the Quebec side as 20lbs of cow cooks better with flames!

Cheers,
Marc.
Typically, those bans don't apply for cooking. And I was in the area in the last few days (Lac du Poisson Blanc), and fire bans were a municipal affair, different towns had/didn't have bans... But let's find out!

Hi, Kelly!

I will be there for the weekend arriving in the morning of  August 11th. If there is anything in particular that you would like me to bring for the Saturday meal, let me know.  Last week-end, the Mini-Beast-Feast was great. I really appreciated the warm welcome. 

Have a great day!

Claude
