UPDATE AS OF SEPTEMBER 17:

This looks like it's a go, as a long day, put in at Wildcat Gas Plant, spend most of the time on the island, take out at Cochrane. Proposing we do this on Saturday.

About the put in: we park on the road before the entrance to the gas plant, and use the long foot path down to the river - RECOMMENDATION - BRING WHEELS and WEAR STURDY FOOTWEAR.

We have also been asked to conduct a site inspection and report:

Fun Facts: This is an excellent fall trip with a good weather forecast, clear water and leaves starting to change colour.  Good trip for a novice to advance to intermediate.

We will stop at Wildcat Island and do some island stewardship activities (this is around 15 years in the making; we put the original outhouse toilet here and the usership has gone up and up ever since):

-Fix the outhouse

-Fix the picnic tables

-Disassemble informal rock fire rings

-Clean up litter

Depending on who signs up we will divide up who will bring gear and supplies, wood, etc. 

Expected Flow: Low 

Duration: day trip or come prepared to stay one night, we will need enough people to divide the groups safely into who wants to stay overnight vs just one day.
