The Zoleo is supposed to give you a topo map of exactly where you are. But on the Cree River, the Zoleo said it had no information and just showed me a blank. Apparently one can get far enough off the beaten track so the Zoleo can't place you on the map.

Cree River Summer 2023 - Part 6 August 23, 2023 OK, I got ahead of myself. One should check ahead on the notes before announcing a challenge like my first rapids, which to be honest was more like a riffle with a bitty V down the center. I have sore muscles and a certain internal fatigue. I...

Cree River Summer 2023 - Part 5 In the previous installment we left our heroine confused at an island in Cree Lake. But before we continue, I have to go back a bit. This is August 22, 2023. My plan is to follow the shoreline up to the point of the peninsula where the fish camp is said to be...

Well, dipping back deep into granduate school learning - it only makes sense that traveling far from safety would be more risky for the prey than staying closer to water. I'm glad there's a study to demonstrate that, but it can't have been a surprise.

Unfortunately when I was there Als Place was not open. The Waterfront Lodge is reportedly the best place, but they were not open or not taking guests when I was there.

Paddling Pitt, somebody on this forum posted a video of a Maine guide paddling with long, smooth strokes. i’m not sure how else to describe it. I just know that in recent times people seem to be using shorter strokes, with the 90 degree angle to the canoe. Glenn, Cree River is in northern...

(Mason, interesting indeed that you were in Stony Rapids. I hope your trip was a good one.) Cree River Part 3. Head down, I pondered my options. I thought I should continue because I hadn't paddled all that far. My mind tries to consider all options and I become aware my mind is muddled. I...

Cree River Part 2 As the morning progressed, the sky began to clear. Patches of blue appeared between skittering clouds. I wandered around the area. There are jack pines running up the hill with a ground cover of reindeer lichen. Ripe blueberries abound. And they a large and succulent. I can...

Cree River flows north out of Cree Lake to Black Lake. Paddling here was a constant surprise. Previously my canoe tripping has been done in Quebec. The rivers I had to fly in to some 30 years ago, now have roads and houses on them. I wanted to find a less crowded locale. Being 69, I also wanted...

OK. Somebody here said to go back to the forum, type in the title of the topic again and see what happens, and that WORKED!!! Thank you. I am writing it in segments and was only trying to put up the first week. I type it out in Evernote which saves automatically sparing me that particular...

The topic is missing also.

I entered a very large segment of a trip report with pictures and it has now disappeared. This was about a week's worth of work. I don't suppose there is any way of getting it back. Is there anyway to SAVE text and pics when inserting a long trip report before posting?

Port was a couple years older than Sevareid.

Very cool that you met Walter Port. The canoe trip was originally his idea. I wondered what happened to him later in life. He gave up a scholarship to University of Chicago I think it was in order to complete the canoe trip.
