I am good for the weekend of: May 7th, 14th, 21st, 28th, June 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th
Algonquin (Pog Lake, Lake of Two Rivers, Opeongo if you wanna park and paddle) or Haliburton Forest
I have gear, and it's packed and ready to go at a moments notice
I would bring the g/f
And I know where you live so I could drop the cheque off any time

Good answer.

Pog Lake is in the middle of the 'corridor' and is our confirmed destination.

No problem Andrew. I can even paypal you if you'd like, as that way we'll have an electronic record which is just as good as a receipt any day. Your call entirely, and of course dates in July/August are equally flexible.

EDIT: this is just a reference for everyone who is considering this trip, and has never been to Algonquin Park... the "corridor" 2001 ZTS referred to is the series of drive-in camp sites along Hwy 60 which runs the length of the park from East to West gate. There are literally more sites than you can shake a fist at but they fill up fast. Below I've posted a map, feel free to PM me if you need directions to the park. It's about a 3 hr drive from Toronto if you take a decent length pit stop.

May 28th we're getting married, and leading up to that date is going to be rather hectic. Sorry guys, maybe sometime at the end of June / middle of July?

I fit all the criteria.

INCLUDING leaving early on Friday.

Most likely I would stay with one of you guys Thursday night to make sure I don't have to commute back to Burlington to get my stuff.

Let me pass it by the Nazi Spoiled Scum bag I call my girlfriend. :lol: :lol: :lol:


I'm kidding.

She's not a Nazi.

Have two spare beds at my place Anthony, so whenever the time comes, feel free...

Dates are June 10, 11 12 (Fri, Sat, Sun). Getting a trip in relatively early opens the possibility of a second trip later in the summer.

I've not stayed at that campground but I know what area of the park it is and don't understand it either cause it is one of the more out of the way palces at Pog. I think the answer is "noisy" in relation to what? It is closer to Hwy 60 than some other sites but I remember it is a good ways off. There is also the noise from the beach during the day but it is a small beach.

No need to rush the money since I'm now letting everyone reserve their own site. I was just worried about being out hundreds of dollars. I can handle being short $34 for a little bit. :lol:

Lets see who else steps up and actually makes a rez?

I'm in.. just have to make reservations, but may not be able to do that until after I get home later tonight.

Ha! After all the cool camping trip stories I've heard from you, this should be good

Guys come with your ladies, otherwise mine will kick my ass. :P
