    Maybe we should just do a 'every person for themselves' meal on Thursday night. I have some food sensitivities that no one else should have to be working around.

    As to meet up time - Rock Lake, say around 10 AM would be my vote.

    Oh, and everyone add a '01' to the end of the confirmation number...silly girl on the reservation phone didn't give me all the digits. I only noticed it when I printed out the email received...sigh!!

    On the confirmations... if I was supposed to receive via pm, it didn't get there for me.
    On the meet up... Rock Lake works for me as Entropy and myself will be coming in from the East Gate after picking up the boat at Opeongo Outfitters. 10am may be a little ambitious but I'll try my best .
    On boat match ups... If Iguana doesn't have room, we might be able to stuff you in our (overloaded) canoe. Or we can tow you in the packraft. Somehow, we'll all get there in one piece.
    On the Thursday meal... I'm fine with everyone for themselves.

    This should be great. It won't be long till we can start watching long range weather forecasts for Algonquin.
    A lotta ins... lotta outs... lotta what-have-you's

    ggreaves - new PM sent.

    Anyone else not get their PM, let me know.

    I suggested 10 AM as an alternative to 8 AM at the Timmies' on 60 that 76 Highboy put forth. Later is all okay with me. 76 HB is coming from Brampton so obviously wants out of the city way before dawn if he was planning on being in Huntsville by 8!! I'm semi-retired and don't have to see sunrises anymore unless I want to....

    Maybe we should approach meet time with a view to the one's coming the furthest and with canoe pick-ups to do, etc.

    Actually I hate getting up early,but I dislike early morning commuters attitudes more so.
    I could do 9:00 or 10:00 am. No rush.

    Individual PM's sent to each since apparently the group PM function doesn't agree with me.

    I can make it for Saturday, but still waiting to hear from my boss about getting Friday off. I won't find out until after next week when he gets back. I'm in for the group meal Saturday and Friday if all goes well.

    Hey Chard, I saw you at the St. Clair subway station waiting for the southbound train. I was making all kinds of rude gestures at you as I passed by on the northbound, but you were ignoring me.

    I'm really glad you guys are trying to come out and join us. I met Kasuko and Entropy on my first hang in Bon Echo all those years ago. Just remember Kasuko, under no circumstances are you permitted to bring bacon (everyone else is fine) and you will be expected to sign a waiver (in triplicate of course) before you attempt ignite any alcohol stoves. I'll bring the fire extinguisher and helmets.

    Sorry about that but I'm so used to having random crazies fling all kinds of rude gestures my way, on such a regular basis, that they just don't faze me anymore. Hey, come to think of it, it's not just on the subways... You probably gave your fellow passengers a bit of a fright though; nervous sidelong glances and casual shuffling away. Did you find that you had a little more room around yourself afterwards? That's Toronto subway travel for you.
