Fill’er up!!! ‘Cause you’ll need it!
This cruise will take you drive around the western part of the Outaouais region. From our regular starting point at the Champlain Bridge, we will first head towards Wakefield,through the Gatineau Park, for a few photo opportunity stops. Then we’ll head up north to Kazabazua along side the Gatineau River, with maybe a quick stop at a power dam in Low (more photos). We will then head west to Campbell’s Bay and then north west to Fort-Coulonge where we will stop for a 30-45 minutes break and quick lunch (don’t forget to bring one!) and more photos. The second leg of our journey will take us back to Gatineau along side the Outaouais River to the summit of the Gatineau Park at the Champlain lookout (photos anyone?). From there, we will cross the Gatineau River to a location near Highway 50 with a nice view of the Valley and both cities of Gatineau and Ottawa (Ok, last chance for pictures). The journey will then end with a BBQ in Gatineau (near Perkins). This run is about 320 kilometers ( 200 miles for the purists ) and should take about 4.5 hours of driving with a few scheduled pit stops. Its sole purpose is to enjoy scenic motoring in good company, and also some fun with the poker run!
We will get going from the parking lot beside Champlain bridge off the Ottawa River parkway at 9:00 sharp ! Make sure your gas tank is full and bring a light lunch for the planned stop at Fort-Coulonge around noon.
The BBQ is sponsored by OVTC, just bring your drinks & chairs. It should be around 4:00 by then.
