My plan for 1844 House won't work this trip  It's "commencement" at the 4 colleges in Potsdam and so they are booked up.  We can stick with the usual.

But if you find yourself in the area at another time and you are looking for an interesting place to eat, you might want to check this place out sometime: http://www.1844house.com/

If you do, post a review please!

great repair stuff ... used it on the my Wavesport boat last year..


Now to find the rest of my gear, and hopefully the skills to paddle will come back... sort of like riding a bike.
I can meet at Fallowfield

Also, FYI,

Apparently the Nice 'n Easy in Ogdensburg and Bessette's in Canton have some great beers (Dogfish Head 60 & 90 min IPA etc).

Probably worth stopping by.

Rob, sounds like Jon and I, as well as Annie and Sandra are in for dinner at this place.

Unclear for dinner is Peter & Bill.

As long as I get to eat and they have beer I am good wherever we go!

I am in too. Thanks Rob for asking to move the time to a bit later and thanks Bill to agree to it. I am happy to try the new restaurant so I am good either way.

Jon and I will be there. I'm easy for restaurant but since Jon is driving, I'll let him decide.

Ugh  - Why so early?  It's a 2 hr drive. If we leave ottawa at 9 we will be on the water before noon and off by 400. My guess 8:45  will make it a bit easier for Annie who has to come over from Gatineau to meet up to carpool and probably for Peter coming in from Fitzroy. Those who want to get straight back home will be home plenty early. Last weekend we were done the Black before 3. Just wondering what the reasoning is for the start time.

Spring Paddling: Grass (Lampson Falls) Saturday May 3

Hi folks,

After discussion in an earlier thread, the consensus is to paddle the Grass in New York

http://www.americanwhitewater.org/content/River/detail/id/1310/

Plans are to meet at the Fallowfield Park & Ride at 8:15am 8:45 am and be on the road by 8:30am 9:00am

GPS:  45.297849,-75.734857

Since we're heading to New York State, please remember to bring your passport or you won't be doing very much paddling...

The usual caveats about cold water paddling apply.
Please feel free to use this thread for ride sharing/carpooling.
If you have any questions, contact me after 7:00pm on Friday

The previous thread has been merged with this one

Bill

The Grass was a highlight last time. The St. Regis is good too, but the level seems to be staying steady when we need it to rise.

I can try your new restaurant, Rob. But the pressure is on to beat the pizza place.
