I found MEC booties in my car - not sure whose - there was an abundance of men in my car shuttling from take-out to put-in - please let me know if they're yours!

Super fun day on the river with good friends!

Biggest river trip so far with 12 paddlers! Oldest was sixty-something... and the youngest was 12!
I think I may even have seen Christian in his stealth Antix 1.0.
Not really sure it was him as both the paddler and boat were too far away to make out details!

Can’t wait for next weekend and the Gatineau!


Thank you to Bill for organizing,  and Tibor for his legendary generosity, and to everyone who posted that they were coming, and thank you to everyone who participated!

SYOTR,

Paul😁

Sorry no car-pooling for me this time since I'll have to go to WT first to rent an Antix 2.0 to try it out.
Thanks, Jim, for your very kind offer but I'd like to try out a smaller boat.
Looking forward to meeting all of you at RR!

 I'm in for paddling and am looking to car pool.  I'm fully vaccinated and can drive or cover the gas.  Pulse let me know if anyone want to share a ride.

I would like to join, too. Fully vaccinated and of course ok with non-vaccinated under-12-year-olds.

Hi Dave,

I can only speak for myself who is fully vaccinated over two months now.

If I understand correctly you are driving with your daughter.

I do not have any problems with this as I believe all adults on this trip are fully vaccinated also.

It will be great to Paddle again with you Dave and with your daughter!

I'm interested in going.  I can drive.  I have new roof racks... I am fully vaccinated but I have an unvaccinated 11 year old who wants to go.

I am also going.

Ideally, we need a minimum of four fully vaccinated people and two cars to make this work, without a bike shuttle.

Hi folks,

For those haven't been out recently or just want an easy day on the river,
a group of us will be paddling the Middle Channel of the Ottawa this Saturday.
At it's current level, Baby Face, S Bend and Upper Noname still offer spots to play/surf.
We plan to meet at the RiverRun takeout at 10:30am and arrange shuttle vehicles there OR meet at the Eagleson Park & Ride at 9:15am
Remember to buy your access/parking pass online before heading up to save yourself some money and aggravation.

Please feel free to use this thread to arrange rides etc.

Bill
