The Mayor of Petawawa declared an emergency today. Not looking good.
Back from a PR clinic and Match this weekend up in Garrison Petawawa
Main Hwy 17 that I travelled on is fine to and from Base through to Algonquin Park by Round Lake. Maybe some high water by two small bridges in the low ground beneath the Alice Ski Hill on Hwy 58.
Huntsville and Bracebridge are flooded but that’s in the downtown areas by the central business districts...
Stayed tuned right here for any updates. At least Echo Range is mostly melted off. That’s a great thing.
Feel free to pack along folding chairs and tables. Event tent is really nice to bring along. Not a long walk from parking lot to Range staging area, maybe 100 steps or so. Folding wagon or cart is always nice to have.
Porta Potties should be in place for the coming weekend
Cheers, Barney
I just hope that "mostly melted off" doesn't mean, is now Lake Echo? LOLOriginally Posted by TacticalTeacher
I don't think I can fit both my SCUBA gear AND my AR, pistol and ammo, etc. in the car all at once.
But seriously, thanks for the weather / highway update, and please keep us advised if anything worsens up there.
Like if we might get recruited for sandbagging.
Cheers.
WEATHER UPDATE .......The ranges and route out to them are nice and dry . However the bridge in the town of Petawawa just outside of base is closed due to the flooding . To get onto base take HWY 17 to Paquette road and come down it then turn left at the traffic lights to get onto base.

Thanks for that update about the bridge being closed. Hopefully things will improve b6 the weekend and we won’t have to take the “long” way around Paquette Rd to Hwy 17 to Murphy Road and then to Danny’s Steak House!
Appreciate that heads up! Now to cross my fingers for that weekend.
This detour is a slight annoyance but at least it ain’t stage 4 cancer! Hahahahaha Gotta be grateful for all the little things!
Cheers, Barney

Paquette road is the one to use to get onto base as Murphy road is still on the wrong side of the blocked bridge in Petawawa.

sorry to hijack the thread. Could anyone recommend an affordable place to stay on Saturday ?
Quality Inn Petawawa is about $160 or so I believe and beside a Kelsey,s restaurant.
I heard the bridge in Petawawa may be open by Friday .
