We won't be able to make this one unfortunately. We'll be in Algonquin collecting reference photos for our "Ontario Parks" photo collection (soon to be a table book hopefully).

I wish we could be there to assist with the large water crossing.

The view from the hill prior to (or after depending which way you are travelling) is quite good and worth a stop for some photos.

The large water crossing itself is quite intimidating.

Stay in the EXACT middle....if you dont, you will go well below your capable depth and be screwed.....plus you'll roll over onto your side into a bog.

Here's some reference videos:

1. Watch as my Jeep tips to the left about half way through, and suddenly gets much deeper....use caution here.

2. In car footage of the EXACT centre line.....follow this route

3. Photo slideshow of one our testing days there when we first got the JK's

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZELve...eature=related

Any questions just ask away.

The water is quite wide. According to my source up there, the crossing is longer than in the videos because of the rain, but only about 4 inches deeper than in the videos.

Stay to the middle and you should be fine.

todd : i think we could meet at kaladar corner of 7 and 41 not much there so when ya get there just pic a spot we will spot you.

as for westerners hit the #7 and travel east I can RV at the corner of #7 and #62 or just meet at kaladar lets set 10 am as RV time for Kaladar.

todd this should just be a 45 minute drive for you.

seeing how i was very lazy and never programmed numbers into my phone for those that are attending shoot me a pm with your cell numbers

we're not worried about the water as todd is always willing to jump in.
