Weather is looking better. I think it will be a dry weekend. The Cliffs hasnt seen rain in 2 weeks!

However, If it looks like we might get rain, I have a back up plan. I can get a 20' x 30' tent from a rental house in Ottawa.

I will be at the park at about 9 or 10am on friday. My cell is 708 466 0394, if you need anything.

Just paste the link, then highlight it and click the "wrap YOUTUBE tags" button. You have to click on "go advanced" to get the option though.

Great job on the videos!

WOW!! I never saw that guy putting his hand out to stop that 5000lbs cruiser from hitting that tree. As close as that line was to that tree, if he would have kept his hand out there he could have really messed it up.

Yeah, that's crazy. The sad part is, that's the second time this trip I saw someone put their hand out to stop 4-5 thousand pounds of metal from hitting the side of something.

Did he end up following you around in his 80?
