It seems that both father and son raced canoes at one time. Stopped producing canoes circa 2017 when a fire took the shop down to the ground. Stopped making paddles as of August the 8th. of this year. A couple of models on this page...

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.

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...

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.

Well done. As they say "Use it or lose it". G.

Thanks, G.

Marten, I'm curious. What camera are you using. Thanks, G.

Good advice Keeled Over. Hope you get those trips done.

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...

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.
