I have not been in the Canadian Shield area since 1980, and I miss it. And from someone who dabbles in wood paddles, I salute your skill!

Wow, amazing paddles! Thank you for sharing your trip report, it was a wonderful way to end my day, and I could spend hours reading your blog.

That is some beautiful scenery!
Don't have a high end camera or anything. It's a old model, bulky, small screen Nikon 5100 Coolpix (from '03) with only 5mp resolution, but it's sturdy. I've dropped it and bumped it a few times but it's still kept on ticking. Some of the newer cameras are just to delicate for my bumbling hands.
Wanted to mention that I learned a lot from JustJeff's page, especially his section devoted to suspension. Ended up fiddling with the Rings and Garda hitch system he posted on. Found the adjustability factor really convenient for a newbie trying to find the ideal tension and such. So much gear, so many suspension options...who knew the world of hammocking could be so complex?
Wow! nice trip pics.
When i saw the last pic I was wow'd by the paddles. I didn't see your web blog until I read the following posts.
All I can say is that you are one talented guy!
A GREAT post. Beeeeutiful canoe. We're not allowed to discuss canoes here so what canoe fora do you hang at?
