Eastern Great Lakes Hang - Winter 2011 - Call to Action!!!!!"

[[o]TTeR]

I generally buy firewood from a place here in Waterloo (I'm only 25 mins away) so I'm not sure about vendors close to Valens but 10 minutes down RR#97 (Old Beverley) heading toward Cambridge there's a massive retail center with a TSC (good bet), Canadian Tire and I think a Rona, one of them should have Firewood. We have purchased wood from Valens (Front gate) at around $8 (last I remember) dry and good for starting a fire but you'll go through a lot of it (small pieces, mill off cuts).

Are people staying until Monday since it is a Stat? I was hoping to stay 2 nights.

I was only planning on staying the Saturday night. Despite it being Family Day, not everyone has the luxury of having that day off.

Cheers

I'm heading up Saturday because I am working on Friday evening.

[o]TTeR, is there somewhere there to buy firewood? What is nearby outside the Conservation area?

I've got the kindling part of the firewood taken care of. I cut up half a skid that I salvaged from behind a warehouse last weekend. It's been drying in my house all week. There is also a small town called Freelton that we pass through on Hwy 6 before turning on the road to Valens, there may be a chance to get a bag of firewood from there.

Cheers

You're parking on the site, each has a small driveway. Just a heads up, they have a 2 car limit per site but a main parking lot by the lake. Out of curiosity, whats the roster looking like?

So far, it seems like there is 4 of us that are going.

Are Mick and yourself likely to make an appearance this weekend?

Oh I've been battling with that decision all week! We got out last weekend because this one was going to be problematic (Pretty sure Mick won't be able to make this one) but the thought of missing a hang opportunity could have long-term psychological ramifications resulting in daily medicated sessions with “Nurse Diesel”, since we’re on the subject of being “commited”, ya I will drop by on Saturday with a 50/50 chance on the overnight. I should have a trunk full of wood unless its really wet and one recently tarnished kettle. Can someone PM me with a contact number and I'll keep you posted on the wood and my ETA?

As Odds rightly points out, HF brethren are always welcome and the more the merrier.
