EGL 2018 Canoeing Season Lineup
Hey folks, I wanted to set an ambitious schedule for 2018 and throw out some of the trips that I'd love to try to get in this year. It'll be great to get out with old friends and with luck, we might even make some new ones. If you can hang a bear bag and say "Chowda", you're welcome.
- Spring Trout'n Trip
- May 14-21- Weeklonger's/Marshmallow rendezvous. McIntosh would be my first choice. Opeongo, Temagami also sounds wonderful, but may be a little far for some. May 5-13 might be better depending on ice-out.
- Yurt Raising Labour Camp
- Date TBD: One of our own could use a hand moving building materials to a backwoods cottage site. Muscle and sweat to be balanced with meat and beer. The more hands we have the faster we'll be done. If hauling's not your speed, then camp cooks are welcome.
- Lower Madawaska Sunken Canoe Hang
- June ?: ConnieB and Martin to advise. A little whitewater playing around on the beautiful Madawaska River near Bancroft. Whitewater gear rentals may be required for qualified paddlers. Portaging's an easy option.
- Summer Coastal Cruise
- July/August: French River down to the Georgian Bay
- Autumn Trout'n Leaves Trip
- Late September/Early October: Algonquin/Killarney Weeklonger's/Marshmallow rendezvous.
Just throwing out a dream paddling season. Specific will be managed on Google Sheets..
Anyone interested? These are just ideas. Like most of our hangs, the where doesn't really matter, just the when.
