Hi Robin- La Verendrye. We will be going July 11-16th. Not sure if your interested… but since I was little..about 7/8. My father ( a geologist) went on a 10 day canoe camping trip with a fellow geologist/ researcher. His preparation for the trip and the tales after had a lasting impression...

Looks great! Wish I could join… will be in Quebec on my canoe trip. Enjoy!
