I've been contacted by a few MM enthusiasts in the area and I'm arranging a ride for JULY 2013.

Will be a sort of 'Poker Run' get together with a BBQ and a fun meet

Location will be St Lawrence River in Gananoque On - it will be open to all motors - but there will be a mud motor specific area of the route. .

I will be the point of contact - this is simply a shout out to see how many guys/gals would be interested in going.

For more info - contact me via PM

I have 9 interested mud boats so far.

Have another guy with a mud rig says he will try and make it. This should be fun.

with the amount of responses i'm getting - should be a great turnout.

I ate at a restaurant in Hull called Le Pied de Cochon. It was damn good. We were in the area meeting with Canadian officials to finalize intergovernmental agreements regarding Le Congres Mondial des Acadians. This would have been in the mid 80's I guess. Beautiful cities Hull and Ottawa.

This site isn't for Canadians

Wish I wasn't so far away thats about an 8 hour drive for me and I dont like dealing with the mounties.

Bring it pussy

update - 13 July 13 looks to be the date.

There is a fishing tournament on the 6th so the 13th seems to be the better day.

I was up in the st Thomas, London area last year in july..... what great weather!!! I've got family in buffalo and always go to canada to play some disc golf. Toronto island has a badass course. I've never been further north than toronto though. Id hate to live up there during the winter.... I like wearing shorts and a tshirt on christmas and would hate to have to shovel snow..... hell our precipitation runs off, no snow the run sounds like fun. Too bad we wont be in ny this year or id try to make the run.

sent by carrier pigeon...don't shoot it!!!!

no fire ants but we do have suckling calves.............probably figure somthing out
will see how my season goes sounds like a fun run

Glad to hear that lol ^^

Date is set folks

Boats Bogs and BBQ

Is there even any water up there in the St Lawrence? I didnt hunt Ontario last season because the water level was sooo low. Couldn't go anywhere in the inland marshes.

We will recce it but yes there are lots of places to boat where we are going.
Its shallow in a lot of spots but thats for the mud motor guys to play in following the bbq

The St Lawrence has a lot of deep water spots in close proximity to shallows, so even though the water is down, there's still spots to run. Besides, those shallow bays are great to run... ...so long as you don't stop!

This is the BBQ/eating location. Drive the boat to the beach and up to the parking level for a potluck lunch.

The launch has been established! !

Misty isles Lodges has been kind enough to let us launch at their facility for $15 per boat. Parking included!
Cottages are available for the 13th of July as well.

Is this there also going to be camping nearby?

Here is a list of accommodations and touristy stuff in Gananoque. There are a few camp sites around I'll have to google them for you...

Thank's for all the work your putting in this. Looks like I will call for a camping spot at this place.

Thanks to Dead Ringer - we have a route planned. Give me your thoughts and opinions and any ideas to make this better.

The poker run portion (yellow) will start at #1 (Misty Isles) and go all the way to #7 (Gray's Beach). It's about 9.5 miles. Then we'll have the potluck cookout and hang out for a bit. After lunch, there's two different runs. Mudmotors will head back to the marina via the red route. Outboards will head back via the green route or go fish or whatever they'd like to do. Unfortunately, the spot between the islands and shore is pretty shallow, so the outboards will have to head out and around.

Please give your feedback!

A few other notes:

1) We will be running this route ahead of time closer to the date to make sure that it is outboard friendly. If not, we'll move some of the card stations.

2) If it wasn't clear, we'll be doing 7 cards (1 per station). Best 5 card hand wins.

3) There may be a few other surprises mixed in there, to be revealed the day of the event

4) I believe that I am going to be able to reproduce this map onto some digital charts. I think I cracked enough software to make it work. I will print enough copies for everyone. I can also e-mail the final waypoints to anyone running garmin GPS when we get closer.

Launch from Misty Isles: ~ 14 miles round trip



Launch from Gananoque: ~25 miles round trip....

Correction to my last

The round trip from the misty isles launch is 14 miles round trip.

The run is 9.5 miles
