EASY BREEZY-WATERFORD NORTH CONSERVATION {July 11th}

****RESCHEDULED FOR JULY 19TH*****

This is a new trip on our schedule that is open to all members.  Meet at the shed for 9:00 am  so we can depart at 9:15 am.  The trip is approximately 80 km one way.

Cost: $6

The cost to get into the conservation area is $12 per vehicle, so carpooling will be necessary  to share the cost of the entrance fee.

Towers Wanted!!!!

We need a tower for the Easy Breezy this Thursday.  My truck was stolen this past weekend (including all my canoeing stuff), so I won’t be able to tow. Therefore I need someone else to volunteer. If enough people come out, we may need a second tower.  Therefore, I ask that you 1) contact me by Wednesday evening if you are planning on joining us on Thursday, and 2) let me know if you would be willing to tow.

SAUGEEN RIVER {PART 2} – July 9th

Tuesday, July 9th – Saugeen River (Part 2)

For this week’s trip, we will be canoeing the Saugeen River from River Access #7 (Concession 10) to Access #9a (Paisley). This part of the river is an excellent opportunity to practice our skills, enjoy the scenery and navigate a few small rapids.

Since this is one of our longer trips,  it will be an all day event, so we can’t guarantee our return time. The weather is supposed to be hot, so bring lots of water, sunscreen, and bug spray……. (see “What to bring on a Canoe Excursion“)

We will meet at the shed between 7:30 -7:50 am so we can leave at 8:00 am sharp.  Since this is one of our longer trips, the cost will be $9.00. Bring some extra money as we will be ending this trip with an ice cream cone!!
