Algonquin: Paddling Through Forests Primeval

Algonquin: Paddling Through Forests Primeval

website Algonquin: Paddling Through Forests Primeval
Story of canoeing through the Canadian wilderness, admiring countless moose, and staying a step ahead of the bears. Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario--The moose lifted its head and glared at us across the water, long strands of lily pad roots dangling from its suddenly motionless jaw. I froze, my paddle poised in midair, daring to move nothing but my eyes.

Slowly, cautiously, the moose began to chew, its wet crunching the only sound in the quiet Canadian twilight. Its velvety antlers spread outward from its huge, ungainly head, lending an air of majesty to the beast, which lingered now just 50 feet away.

In August 1998, 9 fishermen began a canoe trip down the Spatsizi River in Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Provincial Park. For 9 days they canoed and fished though beautiful canyons. The day began with the 100km three-hour drive up the BC Railroad grade to the start of the 5km portage to the Spatsizi River. We were 9 guys squeezed into two extended cab pick-ups, along with drivers Hal and Stan, 4 canoes and what seemed like enough equipment to sustain us on the trek for a month. Stan commented that he had had people with more gear than us, but could not remember when. The drive to the portage took us to the tree line and above 4,600ft elevation. The weather was perfect, clear and cool.

plus whale watch excursion in Bay of Fundy. With photos. Amending our travel plans was no big deal back then. We were pretty loose at the time and frequently hit the road with little notice and less planning. Betty’s thrift and our adventuresome spirit made for a lot of fun camping trips despite my meager, newspaperman’s pay. We had a great time in Maine, Nantucket and other stops on that three-week, driving vacation loop across much of the Northeast. But we always regretted not having made it to Nova Scotia.
