That weekend should be good for me too. I will add it to my calendar. I hope that the bugs won't be out in force either.

Cheers

I'm 95% certain that I can join you all on this one! I've committed to another canoe trip the week before this one. I don't want to drive home and have to turn around and head back up a few days later, so I'll try to change the dates of the other trip to end when this one starts. A great problem to have

I will be paddling a solo canoe, and can supply someone on this trip with my second solo boat if anyone is interested. It's a very fast rather tippy Wenonah Advantage ( the one pictured in my avatar ).

Hey Dant8ro,

Let's plan to meet at the Canoe Lake Access Point at 9:30 am on May13th. That'll get us on the water by 10 am and to our campsite in the early afternoon.

For me, that means leaving Toronto around 6 am and doing the 3 1/2 hour drive up.

It would certainly be best if we could all meet up before heading in, but it's not a deal breaker.

As some might be aware, the limit is 9 people and three "tents" per interior campsite. We can discuss that technicality later.

Sounds pretty good, now to wangle a Friday off...

**Bubba** · 02-22-2011, 22:08

I'd have to leave around 4:00am to get there at 9:30

Oh well, I slept the night at -11 so I can do anything.

**Bubba** · 02-23-2011, 17:24

Are we thinking two nights or three nights for this trip?

**Chard** · 02-23-2011, 18:51

We're looking at 2 nights (Friday and Saturday). Some keeners might want to get there the day before (maybe me) or stay the day after, but let's official call it a two-nighter.

Although it sounds like you have a bit of a drive, there may be opportunities for carpooling, especially since you'll likely be passing through Kitchener/Waterloo or Hamilton.

Sound good chardpp. Are we thinking of different camps for each night or staying at the same camp both nights?

**Ryvr** · 02-23-2011, 19:53

I've been talking with the guys at work. There is no way I can get the friday off but I have managed to get someone else to cover the rest of the weekend.

So myself and Odd Duck will come up on the saturday morning and stay the night.

I am unfamiliar with that end of Algonquin, if someone that knows the area could send me a map of the likely campsite you'll end up at that would save us alot of time looking for ya.
