    La Vérendrye: Extended season.

    It has finally happened. Canoe camping without the motorized fishermen. Yep, LV has extended the canoe season this year by 3 weeks. https://www.sepaq.com/rf/lvy/nouvelles/nouvelle.dot?id=375fdad6-082b-4c6a-9001-a460602a5c5f&language_id=1 G.

    Precipitous Moose Decline in Minnesota

    memaquay said: Same here in Québec province. When I first started canoeing in La Vérendrye in the early 70's. We would see moose every day, even in the most southern part. Now from the Le Domaine south it's almost exclusively deer. Some say it has to do with all the clear cut logging over the...

    Which Subaru?

    I've had both Foresters and Outbacks since they became available in Canada. I prefer the Outback because of the lower profile which, with the same engine, gives better gas mileage, comes with built-in roof racks and is easier to put a canoe on. G.

    2024 subaru outback stock crossbars

    I have a 22 Outback and had a 2014 before that. Same rack. Have had up to 60 lbs + canoes tied down securely with a piece of carpet under each contact point, plus I use 2 hood loops which keep the canoe pointed straight ahead by removing any front lateral side wind stress. At max speed limits...

    The Canoe Hump

    I think it's some kind of lipoma, an accumulation of fat that forms a cushion over time to protect the bones of the spine. I had one remove from my lower spine in my younger years that the doc said was caused by siting all day at school, my spine rubbing constantly against the back of a wooden...

    Unfulfilled Tripping Dreams?

    For those who cannot trip by canoe any more, there are still a few great adventures possible on the wild side but requiring little physical effort. My bucket list of these, includes the Dempster Highway, from Whitehorse or Dawson City to Tuktoyaktuk and return. As wild as being on the barrens...

    3,400-Km Journey From Lake Erie To Ungava Bay

    I just finished reading this book. A good read in many ways. Lots of history of early living and wars along the Northern Great Lakes and down the St. Laurence River. Not a gripping book, easy to put down and return to later, but a very interesting one altogether. G.

    What is an adventure?

    Hey Art, that's excellent. These days, you could probably add, "were you carrying an emergency satellite communication device?¨ Gerald
