Great day on the river. A total of nine of us were out.
Level was at 7' on the Bonnet Rouge gauge; superb surfing at the lunch spot (just ask Steve ...)
Bonnet Rouge rapid was not in at this level, several of us tried to get on the wave but it was surging too much and was not predictable.
A warm water and sunny day finished with dinner at Casse Croute JoJo in Gracefield.

Me ...
Tunney's Pasture is a government complex .. that shuts down for the weekend.
We are able to leave a car there since the parking lots are not monitored on the weekends and holidays
I have roof racks on my car.

What did you have in mind for carpooling? I usually put my Rockstar in my Rav4, with room for one more. I could put my rack on if we need to transport several kayaks. And where can we safely leave vehicles? Not familiar with Tunney's Pasture.

Alain: you want to meet-up in Tunney's pasture?
Parking lot corner of Parkdale and Columbine @ 8:45 am

Still looking for a ride, Adrian?
I would love to paddle on Saturday but am without a car.  Is anyone interested in carpooling? I live in Alta Vista.
