Flatwater

Gary James and I will organize this.
It is about a 4-5 hour paddle with probably no chance to get out to go to bathroom, depending on the waterlevel
I did it only once, and i loved the fact we paddled through the Forest and the corn field.
Had a great time
THE BIG CHANGE THIS YEAR IS THAT YOU NEED TO PURCHASE A PARKING PERMIT ONLINE BEFORE YOU GO - SEE DETAILED DESCRIPTION UNDERNEATH
So i'm in charge, but I am depending on Gary James to help me
PLEASE SIGN UP ONLINE!!!!!!

I would like to explore Quetico
We are entering definitely from the Canadian site, either Beaver house or Stanton Bay.
Sites i would like to visit is pictographs on Quetico lake, Chatterton Falls and maybe Louisa Falls. And hopefully some historically sites where the fur traders and the loggers came by.
Agnes Lake, Man Chain, Falls chain due to their Historical value are also high on the list
I have changed the difficulty rating to Intermediate, due to the remote places we are going. So experience in the outdoors is a definitely must. As it is working as a team is of high importance for this trip.
Trip is filling up with committed people. I realize it is still a long way away. But we need to start more detailed planning as a team.

Maybe you have heard or read about it.

On Sunday June 26 they want to see how many canoes fit in the Peterborough Lift Lock.
I like to participate in this fun event and paddle through the locks on the Trent
I am looking for partners to paddle with me, and for other people who are interested in this event.

The goal is to meet at Del Crary Park, 100 George Street, in Peterborough, at 10.30 AM
That we shuttle our cars
It is about a 35 minute paddle to the Lift Lock and we are supposed to be at the Lock at 13.00 (1 PM)

People that are interested in this fun event and are familiar with the area, please contact me and we can set up a more concrete plan
Starting/Meeting time can be adjusted -as we decide how many locks we are going to paddle, depending how long it takes to fill up the lock with all these canoes and how far we want to go after the lift lock to a following lock.

We will be paddling in a 36' voyageur canoe from Agawa Bay up to Michipicoten Bay. This is a 6 day trip with an experienced guide. All meals will be supplied as part of the trip.

This very popular annual trip seems to be a great draw for all levels of paddlers. We are now into the 12th year doing this and we’ve enjoyed perfect weather (most times), portage free paddling, and a social barbeque that has followed our outing. This is a wonderful day to enjoy an easy moving water river and to socialize with other WCA’ers. The trip will start in south Cambridge where we will put in and then paddle to Paris. We will pass through scenic farm country, stop at a haunted mill, negotiate some easy grade one water, and stop for lunch along the way. Those interested are welcome to join us back at our house in Cambridge for some food, beverage, and social time.

This year we will try a new place - Sherborne Lake in the Leslie Frost Center area.
Last year people expressed an interested in extending the social gathering one more day.
I have booked the Labour Day weekend, Friday September 2 to Monday September 5, 2016.
