  • Also for those KWPer’s new to Palmer Fest or camping with KWP there is a campsite being held at Harold Jessup’s site (not the CO-OP the other side of the river). The site is usually in the south end, go in make a tight right and drive to the end. There may be a Large White Event Tent up (if someone gets it on Friday), if not just ask. If you can’t find it or choose to camp somewhere else feel free to come down and partake during the evening.
  • KWPer’s (new and old) Brian E. will be at Palmer to take 2013 KWP membership forms and waivers, will have some on hand for filling out. In the event that he does not show up I will have some on Saturday evening.
  • Hey everyone, I joined KWP recently and have only met a few of you while running the salmon river at Mack fest. A few of my friends and I will be at Palmer river fest taking some clinics. It be nice to meet some more of you folks. Hope to see you there!

    • At the Base it was.
    • :P sorry, I meant Ry. I think Trevor and I are going to partake in the Ottawa this weekend. that was your plan correct?
    • sunday****
    • Hey Cregg, No that wasnt my boat. I wasnt able to make it to the Pet. Had to work all weekend. Ill be at Palmer all weekend, no Ottawa for me.
    • aha!! well, you were not forgotten then... hope to see you on a river soon bro. stay in touch and keep paddlin!

  • Has anyone been to any of the hwy 7 playspots lately? Are any still going? Franks?
      Comments
    • Franks is no more.
    • Thanks, Tony.
    • sad times :(
    • Travis Walsh if you are in the area of Franks would you please confirm for us?
    • I'm stuck at work till 1am. But I'll try to check after work if there's enough light. If not I'll check on my way into work tomorrow at 3pm
    • Thanks Travis! Definitely wait until tomorrow!
    • Ooh that means you won't be able to join us Wednesday night? Stinks!
    • whats wednesday night without franks?!?
    • I saw burleigh on the way home yesterday, looks like its come down a fair bit
    • Yep, no Wednesdays for a while. But I now have Fridays off. Good for day paddles
    • Awesome I always have Fridays off and tony usually does, not this Friday for me though,mont Tremblant for haleys MTB race!
    • Awesome!!!. Tell her I wish her the best of luck.
    • Thanks Travis, it is a big one!
    • @Trevor no worries there is always somewhere to paddle. i think some of Kwp have paddling plans at the fish hatchery. Never been but the bottom apparently is less intimidating.
  • Thanks for all the KWP members that came out to help for the clean up. Good work! The river looked wild and strange out there !Amazing what the power of water does to rocks that weigh almost a ton. Check it out when you have a chance.
  • Hi guys hope you had at good time at HOHW. The Minden preserve is in need of a good "clean" used fridge that still has some life left in it. Any members that has one we can have as a donation that would be awesome! Thank you in advance. PJ
  • Tony and I are back at Franks tomorrow night, 6. Its closer.
  • Soooo, weekend one, learning the basics at Burleigh, week two feed them to the Pettawawa at over 100cms? Or have things changed at KWP headquarters?
      Comments
    • step 3, bottom moose at 5 ft
    • Week 2-1/2 Drinking lessons with Uncle Clivey
    • GKC annual schedule: Weeks 1 - 52, run Elora gorge. Or have things changed at the GKC headquarters?
    • Good one John but you chose a bad week. Last weekend alone was a good one for the GKC. Team Dumbass were stomping the Ottawa at 25. Iron Ring, little and big trickle, elevator shaft, plus the main. I hiked in to Moore's creek with some people and ran that. Upper Crow, Skoot, Drag, Callaghan and Beaver. I think the KWP were busy working on basic skills those days. Which I must admit is an improvement. BTW. Find your truck yet?
  • Had such a great time at burleigh falls on saturday and thanks so much to the instuctors there for teaching me the basics !
      Comments
    • Thanks for helping us out. Hope to see you again.
    • Emily let me know if you need to borrow one of the boats, the green one or the red, white and blue one. Looking forward to seeing you out again.
    • ok i will and i hope to see you all soon!
  • Tony and I were so impressed with Joey Hitchins from Liquid Skills that we have decided to take a two week clinic with him. We have booked Monday June 24 - Friday July 5th, that way we span the KWP Ottawa weekend. There is room for 3 more similar paddlers to join us if anyone out there is interested. It is a good deal and a meal plan is optional. If you are interested drop Tony or I a message and we will pass on the info. You can go on the liquidskills website http://www.liquidskills.com. Check out Louise Irwin, she will be teaching 3 of the 9 days.

    • Would that I could...
  • Those of you who are not going to the HOHW please come out to the Minden Whitewater Preserve for the cleanup weekend. Arrival time is 9:45 Wear work/rubber boots,gloves, rainwear, rakes etc. There will be refreshments. It feels good to volunteer and show paddling spirit. Hope to see you there! PJ
  • Had a great time learning the basics today, that's to everyone involved.
      Comments
    • Thanks for volunteering. We passed it all. When you want to go out again, let us know.
  • Big thanks to all the instructors today. It pays to get back to the basics!!

    • oh man! Good job Tony!
    • Nice Tony! i think I want Manny as a cheerleader for all my future paddling. Manny are you up for that?
    • Tony rocked it....I need to lower my voice next time...but yes Laura, will be your cheerleader anytime...lol
    • A good fight! Nice job Tony
    • Wow! Nicely done Tony. Manny - safety at the ready! Excellent video too. Kudos all around.
    • Wow, impressive.
    • Love the tip of Manny's pink helmet!!!
  • Just got back from the Ottawa for the CUKC trip, thought y'all should know its at 22
      Comments
    • How was the trip?
    • I'm very out of shape, lots of fun otherwise, burning box is now a CUKC tradition as well.
    • I believe we had 4 boxes going around at one point
    • were you passing the box with your mouth? or just your hands. What about throwing of boxes? What level of burning box did CUKC achieve?
    • preliminary levels at best, there is still much to teach and I do not pretend to have all the answers, I'll be bringing some of the club's brightest "boxers" on KWP excursions to show how things are done in the big leagues
    • I would like it to be noted that I did not witness a single game of burning box at Mackfest. I'll attribute it to me being in the wrong places at the wrong time... buuuut....
    • The GKC thinks outside the box.\
