For those going camping this May Long weekend.

Contents

Where we're going

  • We are going to the camping spot that some of us stayed at on September long, last year.
  • Dustin's been there a few times too and it is marked on his map [here]
  • Because the camping site is on a peninsula, we'll need to park our cars and canoe the rest of the way.
    • That distance is about 45min, says last year's campers.

Who's going

So far, these people are confirmed:

  1. Brendan
  2. Kristyn
  3. Allison
  4. Jere
  5. Jake
  6. Alex
  7. Mark Peters


These people have shown interest:

  • Matt Benedet - He may be writing a test that would keep him from camping. We have yet to see.
  • Jennesa Dyck - She may be too busy with work that weekend

Canoes

These are our available canoes:

  1. Alex's canoe
  2. Mark's canoe - needs to be picked up from winkler
  • We will also need to rent one more canoe from Rushing River Store - someone needs to do this soon (preferably someone with a landline)!
Rushing River Store
PH: 807-548-8875

Tents

  • Remember that everything we take will need to be carried to the campsite via canoe so don't bring too much.
  • We should plan to share tents,
    • To decrease the amount of stuff carried in the canoes
    • Because the campsite has few ideal tenting locations

Cooking equipment

Naturally, we should share as much cooking equipment as possible.

Pots and pans:

  • Mark's cast pan
  • Kristyn has dishes: I wasn't going to bring them but I will if others want to use them. yes/no?
  •  ???

Stoves:

  • Brendan's propane BBQ
  • Allison's single-burner stove


Allison: I have my own dishes and cooking equipment.

Adventuring equipment

Rock Climbing

Those who wish will have the opportunity to do some real rock climbing this weekend. Brendan is a certified wall climbing instructor and has his Level 2 rock climbing certification. Mark probably has qualifications like this too.

  • Brendan is bringing:
    • 50m rope
    • Harness
    • Climbing shoes
    • Many caribeaners, some accessory cords, 1 ATC
    • No helmets or chalk
  • Mark is bringing:
    • Some quick draws
    • Climbing Shoes
    • Slack Line
    • Climbing Harness
    • Chalk
    • Hopefully some slings
    • What I lack in certification I make up for in experience.


Cliff Jumping

There are some cliffs worth jumping off of and probably some worth diving off of. We'll just need to find them ourselves.

Holy crap, you guys plan on swimming? - Kristyn

Fishing

Anyone like fishing?

Schedule

Outgoing

We want to leave on Friday.

Allison: I could meet you guys at the PetroCanada that's just past the perimeter. I could be there by about 5pm. I am available to pack up my car after 9:45pm on Thursday.

Kristyn: I can be in Winnipeg any time on friday. if others have that day off, I can load up during the day with them. if necessary I can even be in Winnipeg very late thursday evening (try 10:30 or 11:00).

Alex: i want to be out by 5, mainly because of daylight, if we leave any later, i think we maybe paddling/ setting up in the dark and i really don't want to do that. get time off if you have to, even hitting that road in the dark could be a problem

Please write how early you can leave.

  1. Brendan - entire day off, wants his car to leave noonish if possible
  2. Kristyn - entire day off. time is no object.
  3. Allison - 5:00 (at Petro Canada) - this means that the rest of you will have to leave earlier than 5
  4. Jere - 5:00
  5. Jake - 5:00
  6. Alex - 5:00
  7. Jennesa - ?
  8. Mark Peters - ?
Allison: Are we camping at the spot that requires an hour-long (ish... I don't remember) canoe trip? That might pose a small problem, given the amount of daylight. I don't know if we'd find the place if we had to paddle across the lake in the dark. Also, now that there are potentially 9 of us, I'm not sure there'll be room for all the tents at that smaller camping spot. There were really only two good flat locations for tents. I totally call the one Jake and I had last time!

Brendan: Now I know where we're going [Wiki updated]

Incoming

When do we want to leave? Monday afternoon? Monday at noon? Monday morning?

I don't need to be at work again until sometime on wednesday. I wonder if you guys believe me when I tell you I'm gainfully employed. - Kristyn

Allison: I don't care when we leave. I need to work on Tuesday, so as long as we're back before then, I'm good.
