Dumoine River (Was the "Spanish River West Branch")

Whitewater

***UPDATE Aug 19!*** Due to low water levels on the Spanish, I'm going to change the trip to the Dumoine River from Bridge Rapids (Lac Benoit) 4-5 nights down to the Ottawa. Pretty laid back pace with at least one rest/WW play day on the way.

I'll be in a solo boat. Looking for another solo paddler(s) or a tandem pair to run with me. Need to be reasonably comfortable in moving water and self sufficient. Costs will be part of the shuttle cost (shuttle costs $485 for 2 boats, $595 for 3 boats, etc). I'll be leaving from the Orangeville area midday on the 12th and have room in the vehicle for up to two people and one boat if needed.
If you're interested email me.

Notes

This is a Whitewater trip, but there are good portages around all the rapids and I'm not planning on running everything.
I'm pretty laid back and the pace will be pretty flexible as well.
