Always at Jessop's campground. One arrow indicates the campground, the other the turnoff from HW 515.

Jessica and I will both be there Friday around 9pm.  Where about do you normally camp every year?

I can bring a couple growlers. I have a black IPA and a cream ale, oh and a herbal mate IPA that isn't very good, but gives you lots of energy

Alternatively (to my last post), if there are other car-less souls out there still looking for a ride (and willing to split the cost), I could rent a VrtuCar vehicle (~$140 total for the weekend, including gas). 

I could probably get an SUV type vehicle, and could take 3 people (*maybe* 4?) with boats and gear!

(I already posted this in the thread on clinics at the Palmer Rapids weekend, but just in case...)

Is anyone traveling from Ottawa, with space for a passenger (plus boat and camping gear)?  Happy to chip in on gas (and even driving)!

I'd be happy to go up on Friday (leaving anytime), or on Saturday in time for the afternoon clinic.

(I *might* also have a second boat that I'd like to bring, if the ride opportunity allows: I'm considering a new (to me) boat, and will see if I can try it out for that weekend.)

Thanks,
=Peter

This is an annual event. Normally we play at Palmer rapids on the Saturday, camp, and run the Lower Mad on the Sunday. There is no need to register for the weekend, except if some clinics are offered.

More details to follow as we get closer to the date.
