Howdy all,
We officially have the use of Weaver Lake campgrounds for the Friday night. Look here:

If we found the road north impassible, ( or we were too hung over, lazy, comfortable to drive ) we could have the place for Saturday night too. We will have exclusive use of the campground however there is a day use area which will be open to the public, mostly worm drowners. We will also have the key, so although we can't leave the gate open, you absolutely can arrive in the middle of the night, ( turn of the high beams ). The campground costs $10.00 per vehicle. I will pay for all of us in advance so everyone be prepared to cough up $10.00 (cash, not 2 1/2 beers) when you arrive. Please update this thread if you know you can come for the Friday night. If however, it gets to be 8:00 p.m. Friday and your all loaded and ready to go but you're not signed up for Friday, come anyways! We've got the whole campground. There are 23 campsites, maximum 2 cars per site... I think we'd all fit.
Mitch probably has a better estimate than I do but I would guess that it would be about 4 - 5 hours of easy driving from Weaver Lake to Sloquet Creek, God willin' and the crick don't rise, as it were, so maybe we would want to think about heading out shortly after lunch at the lake, giving all the late starters a chance to catch up without arriving already half frazzled?
Does anyone have a VHF transciever? It would be nice to be able to talk on the LAD3 channel, somewhere in the 152Mhz range.
Post questions here or PM me. I don't know what the cell coverage will be like at the lake but just in case, I'm at 604 817-4821. I'll also monitor the LAD3 channel but can't talk back, I only have a scanner... Hmmmm. I'll think about that a bit.
What did I forget?
