terese pawletko Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I would like to be on the list as well...should be in shape by then to do the level 3 paddle (would love to go to Muscongus in June but doubt I'd be ready for level 3 by then). Thanks for organizing this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prudenceb Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Troad, I've sent you another two PM's that you should check. One tells you how to link a PM to your personal email so you'll know when someone has sent you one! Prudence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Richmond Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 I hopefully have set up a PM about this trip and we can continue the planning through that. Thanks Prudence for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethS Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Wow, I totally missed this thread! I guess that's what I get for being too preoccupied with hiking and snowshoing in the winter.. And I'm not free this Aug anyway, but maybe it will be so awesome you will want to do it again! Troad, I remember talking with you last summer about doing this, and I'm sorry I won't be joining you this summer. Have a great time everyone, maybe next year!

Julia Richmond Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 Hello Beth, Thanks for your good wishes for our trip. I am glad to hear you had a good winter and to hear from you. If your calendar clears up, there is still one space left. All the best. Troad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Barrell Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Julia, I am interested in this paddle (dates are fine). I did a guided trip with Fjord en Kayak several years ago to check out the terrain and campsights. I don't normally do guided trips and prefer group / club adventures. Weather kicked up some big waves (surfed a tandem!) so this is not a casual paddle. My name might be unfamiliar in this club - I'm an L3 paddler with AMC in Boston. If the space is still available, we can discuss more on PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Richmond Posted June 2, 2018 Author Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hello Jeff, We still have one spot left. Not knowing what information you have gleaned from the message board or elsewhere, here I go: You can send a check for US $60 to me, Julia Richmond 86 Rang 8 Marston, QC G0Y 1G0 Canada with exta postage for Canada. That covers park and camping fees for four days, three nights, August 5-8. I have had my printer print and plasticize charts, a set of two recto-verso, of the trip for $14 each. I made eleven copies, but Sherry has four sets of charts that take up a lot more sheets, so I think she won't need mine. Sherry also made plasticized copies of the park map, available online, or in print by mail for $6, for everyone. In the event she has only eleven copies, I don't want one, so you can have mine. We need to be in Sainte-Rose-du-Nord by the night of August 4, having already set shuttle. We will discuss shuttle in a couple of weeks. The drive from Tadoussac to Ste-Rose is 1h20 each way. People can either set their own shuttle with other paddlers, or hire Ferme 5 Etoiles in Sacre-Coeur to drive their car to Tadoussac for $124 CND. (877-236-4551) For that, no reservations are necessary. They are on the way, about 20 km north of Tadoussac. Just stop on the way, leave a second set of keys, and fill out some papers. Tide charts are online from the Canadian government. Once you send me your email, I can send you the link. If you decide to do the trip, you can write your information in on the Google sheet, or send it to me: boat type and color; car type, color, license; cell phone; emergency contact person and phone; and email. I have guidebooks on mammals, reptiles and amphibians, whales and seals, wildflowers, and birds, that I will bring for group usage. I am still looking for something more than sketchy on geology and history. These are our campsites: Anse du Portage, Anse aux Ilets Rouges, and Pointe a la Passe-Pierre, all on the north shore. The GPS coordinates are on the Sepaq website. We will take out at the beach in the Baie du Tadoussac, for a total trip distance of 48 km. The cars will be parked at the Sepaq parking off Rte 138 not far from the ferry landing. There is a hiking trail connecting the take out to the parking, about 2 1/2 km. Dont forget you will cross an international border. Bring your passport and good behavior. Do not bring beer, wine, or alcohol (there is a small amount permitted), tobacco, firearms or other weapons including bear spray, more than 10000$ cash. Allow extra time for border crossing and for potentially high traffic flow from summer vacationers. You should reserve a campsite or room soon. Summer is short here up north. The ferry to Tadoussac is free, without reservations, and frequent. We have reports of an abundance of blackflies and mosquitos on the Saguenay. Campsites are equipped with perches to hang food away from bears. Campsites have no potable water. Water sources can dry up in the summer. You are aware this trip is rated intermediate for the first two days, and advanced for the second two days. Any other questions? Fire away.

eneumeier Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) Troad, What is the nearest airport to Sainte-Rose-du-Nord ? Also, I have not been getting any private messages. Am I not on your list? Liz Edited June 3, 2018 by eneumeier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Richmond Posted June 3, 2018 Author Share Posted June 3, 2018 There are probably some small airports. Quebec City has an international airport, much smaller than Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Richmond Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Liz, Somehow I screwed up and you are not on my list. So you make a full twelve for a complete trip! I found your note that you will just pay me in August, which is fine, but that is where I went astray and just kept in touch with people who sent checks. Did you fill out the Google information sheet? If so I will find your email there. Otherwise, please send me your email address. There are three people who are not in NSPN going on the trip, so it could be good to switch to email. I am really glad you are coming, and glad your spot was reserved for you. Do you have accommodations in Ste-Rose for August 4? We need to be there then with our shuttle set already in order to get going before the afternoon winds. In case you don't have reservations yet try Camping de la Descente-des-Femmes at 418-675-2581 or the hostel at aventurerosedesvents.com 418-675-2625. I sincerely apologize for my grave error and am so glad that it looks like no great harm has been done as a result. Troad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Richmond Posted June 21, 2018 Author Share Posted June 21, 2018 Liz, I see you are not filled out on the Google sheet. I will write your information in if you can send it to me: cell number; boat type and color; car model, color, and license; emergency contact name and phone; email. Thanks.

Karen Volkman Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hi, Anybody else going to the Solstice paddle on Saturday? Sherry and I plan to chat at the potluck about the trip. I realize most of you don't know me. I paddle a lot with Robert and Cathy and the Jonathan and Kelsey and Prudence and Mike Habich and Dave Mercer via the Carmody training events. My only club paddles are Gerrish Circumnav last Feb. and the Easter paddle. Cheers, Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eneumeier Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 I will catch up with all of this. I have been in Russia for the World Cup and am now in Croatia but heading home tonight. Liz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Carr Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 My gmail address is Carrpediem1@gmail.com. My spouse Pam is coming on the trip too. I hope that is factored into the #s. Looking forward to the trip. Thanks Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia Richmond Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 I have counted more times than you can imagine to be sure we are twelve, plus other people have also counted. We are all counting Pam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
