We left the Tremblay at our friends camp and brought home her old canoe for some TLC. Chopper Gun fibreglass. It has been used hard and put away wet a few times but it will help me hone my glass working skills a bit. No rush on this one, we have a year or so. Don't mind the duct tape, needed...

Always good seeing you as well Red. It was planking that was broken but mostly fixed and we found out that Kim loves the canoe, she took it out yesterday after we left. We had our fair share of pickerel and perch. Perch being the better tasting of the two. I had a great time with the Northern...

Danged thing keeps logging me out when trying to upload photos. Says it timed out, but that only takes seconds. Oh well.

Well, this old canoe came back for a visit while we were up at Ear Falls on a fishing vacation. At it's home in Red Lake it suffered from a hail storm last year and needed some loving attention. The canvas was breached in 4 places, planking shattered under those spots. Rather than re-canvas...

How much crap did you take for bringing a motor boat on a canoe trip?

We went from 6 weeks without any rain to deluges which have flooded farmers fields. Even had a severe thunderstorm Wednesday night derail an inter-modal train, approximately 36 containers headed west destroyed. 205 fires, 188 human caused so far. Why? Well, after a long Winter people get back...

If still in need, Swift sells 8" seat bolts, just give them a call.

Isn't Alberto tracking towards you Mike? Our rain last week was enough to remove the travel restrictions for now although there ain't much water to float a canoe on.

Rain rain come our way. The Berens River should be off anyones trip list for this year, it runs through this 25,000 hectare fire.

It did finally rain last week, a solid day and a half which resulted in more restrictions, like Atikaki now has a travel restriction although it does not include canoes yet. This coming week is temps well above normal. Low 30's C all week. Meanwhile, the upper half of the big lakes are still...

Paid my money, logged in, found no photos. I wonder if I uploaded from my PB backup folder if they would have all the original addresses and auto-fill the missing photos on here.

I suppose the upside of 6 weeks without rain would be the total lack of biting insects.

It looks like this year we have subtracted the canoes.

Sure, sure Mike, rub it in. And just for sh*ts and giggles it was -7C this morning.

Plus there are 31 fires burning of the 63 we have so far this season and they are all human caused.

We just got bumped up on restrictions. Still no rain and nothing in the forecast through next Tuesday. This is for Nopoming PP and South Atikaki WP including Wallace Lake. Restrictions: Burning Permit Cancellation Level 2 Fire and Travel Restriction Specific Restrictions...

Can someone please send us some rain! April was the driest in 30 years. Still have snow in shady spots and much ice, but the fires have begun. No rain in the forecast for another week. Back country travel and fire bans in place already. Thank you

No worries Brad, let us know how the big Ice storm goes for you this weekend.

I'm starting to wonder if we are going to make it for the May long weekend. Still well below normal day temps and nights still in the minus double digits. Some places need to melt 40" of ice in less than 5 weeks. Had snow yesterday and a possibility of more next week. I'm all for bringing...
