In eight days, two young Belgians canoe the Clearwater River in Northern Alberta. This canoe-trip starts in Ft. McMurray a 'oil'-town in the northern part of Alberta and was the product of a lot of emails between Belgium and Canada, Points North Adventures more in particular the outdoor organisation Points North Adventures which provides us the canoes, food supplies and has booked a float plane for flying us upstream the river.These people are really professionals and give us a lot of usefull information about the river, the region, the wildlife and many more. John Semple, the person who is running the business together with Anita, his wife, even went out with us to buy the appropriate supplies!
Roland and company build a raft a sail it down the Mackenzie River from Fort Simpson to Normal Wells. Börje Johansson and Arne Hyckenberg got the idea of building a raft and floating down the Mackenzie River in the Northwest Territories of Canada
A trip to Ontario. Includes Toronto and Niagara Falls. Hooliator grew up in Southern California. Hooliator has lived in three American states and France. For most of his life Hooliator thought of Canada as a little America. Boy did I get a shock when after leaving France and arriving in Canada for a visit, I found out just how unlike us our neighbor to the north really is.
11 friends paddle around 11 lakes (Bowron Provincial Park) in 7 seven days. Photos of the paddlers and a photo gallery are included. Murray's here. It's time to load up the boats." Those words were music to my ears. My biggest worry about the trip was getting the tandem kayak I rented from the University of Calgary up to Edmonton. I mean we're talking about a 22 foot boat on top of a Ford Taurus here.
Anyways, it was time to load up. We decided to load a canoe and one of the single kayaks on top of Murray's car for the ride out to BC. That left four kayaks (two tandems, and two singles) to put on top of John's truck. Now I know John's got a pretty good sized truck, but I couldn't see us fitting four boats on its roof rack. Then I SAW the roof rack. Let's just say that four boats would be no problem.
This collection of images (mainly panoramas) shares some of the many sights enjoyed during travels around the Nova Scotia region in 2002-2003. With its paradoxal combination of a modern networked infrastructure and an authentic rural atmosphere, Nova Scotia has always been a bit difficult to categorize as entirely rural. On one hand, you have the warm and friendly locals who tend to remember you even years later, living among abundant unspoiled nature and remarkable scenery. On the other, you face a technology-literate society with inexpensive broadband connections and computing resources available in even the most rustic of locations. Perhaps the most appropriate description of Nova Scotia would be a uniquely balanced region with modern infrastructure when you need it, rich scenery for walks when you desire solitude, and for all other occasions, you have plenty of friendly locals around for a good old fashioned chat.
