I’ve read all four of his books. I particularly like the communication and coordination exhibited by these two intrepid paddlers. I’m also partial to the botany, the walking they did, working out the challenges they faced, their appreciation for the far north. These books are not thrillers...

Me too.

I can’t watch freestyle without thinking of alligators. It took more than two weeks in Québec before I stopped worrying about gators in the water. It just becomes automatic. That said, it was a fun video to watch. What class and grace on the water.

That is super cool. Thank you for sharing. Thanks to yknpdlr and kahel for helping me get there.

I just looked up - the website says you can camp anywhere you want without a reservation, except the reserve campgrounds of course. That makes is more attractive if you prefer not to have to reserve a camp in advance and then follow a schedule. Looks interesting.

Welcome.

I have no idea to find the location on google earth.

The refurbished chair is superbly beautiful, Robin.

Americans over 65 need fishing licenses in all the provinces I’ve paddled in. In Florida we still need a license, but it is free. Everyone can fish in salt water from the shore without a license.

Thank you. I think we all miss you.

I used to live in central New York but I did very little canoeing in that state. Mostly white water like the Hudson and in VT, the Battenkill. We drove up to Quebec at that time in my life. I have to admit reading trip reports from the ADK here makes me want to go back. But there are so many...

Great and informative trip report. Thank you. I’ve always been drawn to Sparkleberry Swamp because of its delightful name. I’m not sure why they are called “sparkle” berry. It is a relative of blueberry and the berries are edible, but they don’t sparkle. Please don’t anyone eat berries unless...

My experiences are much like Alan’s. ChatGPT gives me more focused and specific answers than does google. I may have to sort through dozens of entries in google, whereas ChatGPT answers directly. Of course I have to read more or check sources if it is something critical, but I’d have to do...

I enjoyed the video. Thank you dutchlennart. I love the song. I’ve never heard it before. I’ve not been tempted to paddle with the lean putting the gunwale so close to the water. There’s alligators in that water where I paddle.

I loved the pictures. I spent many summers in the area north of Lake George. It sure is beautiful.

Super great photos, Al. I really enjoyed them as well as the TR.

2025 - The Day After The night I was dropped off by the side of the tracks was so horrible I have been unable to write about it. It didn't rain and I didn't get attacked by a bear, but everything else seemingly went wrong; it was confusing and exhausting to an extent I've never before felt. So...

In one of the books I read this summer, there's the following tale. The author approached a well known canoe explorer and asked if he had ever been afraid during canoe trips. The answer: all the time. When I come across that again, I'll post it. I'm starting to think it was a book when I was on...

Welcome to the addiction! ;)

Thank you for all the pics and the report. That great blue heron looks like he's saying "What the ****!" That's a lot of teepees. Is that a trend in Europe?
