    The Tichegami Odyssey

    It’s exciting to have the water chasing you. Camping in thé 10,000 Islands, a high tide and a storm brought the water within a foot of the tent. We were on the highest point of the little island. Luckily it stopped rising before it hit the tent.

    The power of a flash flood on a placid stream

    Is that what it is. Bystander effect. Never heard if it. It explains some of the mysterious situations I’ve been in when I’ve been about the least qualified person to help, but the only one who does. The one that comes to mind was being in the woods with a class of grad students and two...

    The power of a flash flood on a placid stream

    The fall right after the bridge looked pretty nasty. It wasn’t a falls as such but some fast water running into the ocean off Sulewasi. Kids were playing in it, having a blast. Brown, brown, brown. I was afraid if what poisons might be in the water.

    What are you reading?

    I just finished River of Fire: Conflict and Survival on the Seal River by Hap Wilson. It wasn't exactly what I expected. He takes almost of the first half of the book to cover preparation and history. Then begins the river trip report. There are problems from the beginning, even before the...

    Mégiscane River, Québec

    Lac du Poéte The Disney ride spit me out and into Lac de Poéte with a middling sized bay to the right. This was the very first place I recognized from my trips 30 years ago. Back then, lower water levels made this a muddy backwater, but at the time we were tired and it was the best we could do...
