Steve,

I'm interested in an Upper Pet run for Saturday.  Here's a video club member Ray Canton shot a few weeks back on a high water.  Some quality beatdowns: http://vimeo.com/1325795.

You asked me about my favourite runs.  This is one of them.

Btw, if anyone doesn't want to be featured in one of my videos, please let me know the day of the trip! I don't mind omitting someone at all, but I would like to know ahead of time so that I don't have to redo all of my video editing.

I can send you a picture of Paul that you can paste on the face of those who opted out after editing... That way we can make him 'paddle' while he recovers from his injuries. It would look like this:

That's the face I made before I went into Washing Machine on the Rouge!

Oh it will. I usually try to combine the highlights which includes good and bad runs from anyone I managed to get a good shot of (assuming there wasn't a large drop of water on the lens for).

Btw, if anyone doesn't want to be featured in one of my videos, please let me know the day of the trip! I don't mind omitting someone at all, but I would like to know ahead of time so that I don't have to redo all of my video editing. This should apply to anyone else filming... just give them a heads up but before they head home when it may be too late.

Nobody tells me to stop paddling... ;)

I'll try to work on it during this week. Give me a few days. I've also got more carnage footage from Beaver Creek, ON from yesterday!

Ha! Ha! I hope it's not just carnage, but includes a few successful runs too... Like the Bridge rapid! --C.

I foresee  that micro-brewery in St Jerome becoming a regular part of spring paddling in Les Laurentides. Perfect finish to the day!

awww, you guys have been running all this stuff when I am not available. :P

Jon, still thinking of the Beaver Creek on Sunday? Would join you if you don't mind. --C.

Yep. Early day, meeting at 9:30 in marmora at the subway.

I don't know the river super well, so don't expect me to lead. Might be scouting.
