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 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!
Photos and journal from a hike on the West Coast Trail in 1995. Includes links to more information about the trail. The West Coat Trail, part of the Pacific Rim National Park, stretches 77 km between Pachena Bay and Port Renfrew along the western shore of Vancouver Island. This piece of coastline was known as "The Graveyard of the Pacific" due to the numerous ships that found their end on the dangerous rock shelves. Development began with a telegraph line and two lighthouses to aid the ships, but not until the wreck of the SS Valencia in 1906 claimed the lives of 126 people near the rocks now called Valencia Bluffs, the Canadian Government began the construction of a lifesaving trail. This trail was intended to allow quick access to the coast and was maintained by lighthouse keepers and telegraph linesmen.
Trip itineraries and travel diaries that focus on Ontario beaches and nearby communities. The rain fell on and off throughout the night. In the morning, we got a little more. And the raccoon that we’d seen the night before had returned while we slept. The bagels that were in the cooler were out and the bag was opened. Scary what an animal with an opposable thumb can do. So there we were, with wet tents, a camp site that was getting a little muddy, and our food picked over by a hungry little critter. My daughter had been promised one of those cinnamon-raisin bagels for breakfast. Life away from home was starting to take it’s toll on us
