https://www.kwpclub.ca/mackfest/Hello all.
The festival is on, taking place this coming weekend along HW 7. It's a great season warm up (so to speak, as it's still cold). Typically folks do the Beaver on Saturday and the Black on Sunday. Or whatever--the Skootamata might be in too. There is choice between Class II-III and Class III-IV rivers, so lots of options.
I am quite sure a bunch of Ottawa folks are planning on attending. Myself, I plan on driving there at some time Friday afternoon, since I can take the afternoon off. I have a good sleeping bag, so was going to camp at the festival site Friday and Saturday night, and come back Sunday afternoon. I do not know what the weather is going to be, but last year it was only cold Friday night and bright and sunny the rest of the weekend. The ladies in Queensborough usually put up a BBQ and pie sale at the Black take-out, that part is always nice.
I have registered for the event on the KWP website (see above), and also renewed my Whitewater Ontario membership so that I can have the insurance, by the way.
There is room in the car for another person, but I would like to leave early-ish afternoon and take my time getting there... Cheers!
