Just to let you all know that the Blanche is running again.... 35 minutes from Ottawa...in the town of Thurso quebec, runs a beautiful class 4 pool drop creek with about 10 different rapids if not more... All ranging from 2+, 3+, 4 and 5. The level is like when the club ran it last... Great scenic run... 2 portages but all in all I think we all had a great time last time.. a few of the club members had been asking me about it and a few have yet to run it... Thought id let you all know!
Heres a video with the first 2:20 minutes showcasing the bigger rapids on the run. there a whole bunch of class 3 boogie in between!

The rouge is also still above 120 cms and the Ottawa rougly about 15-16 on the gauge!
For those who want to stay local and huck large... Hogsback is in at a medium level!
I think im able to get the girlfriend to cut me loose from packing boxes for our move for a few hours this weekend!
I want to paddle
