Unloading from the train at Red Lake, Ontario |
|
|
Brew stop soon after setting off |
|
|
A damp grey start to the trip |
|
|
Not running that |
|
|
The first and longest portage of the trip |
|
|
Doug peering over a set of fully loaded packs |
|
|
Crooked falls made for a noisy but scenic capsite |
|
|
A basking turtle gave an opportunity for some photography |
|
|
Running the short canyon through swirling rapids |
|
|
simple rapids marked many of the transitions between lakes and river |
|
|
Larger drops needed a portage and often some imagination to locate the route |
|
|
A bug free evening allowed us to sit out and watch the moon rise |
|
|
A large rock in the main flow made this rapid a bit harder |
|
|
Just hold it straight and level! |
|
|
Great sunsets were a feature of this trip |
|
|
Another drop to shoot and then bail the water from the canoe |
|
|
A fresh cold morning and mist greeted us as we emerged from the tent |
|
|
After mostly dry days a wet night and we had to dig out the waterproofs |
|
|
Though it dried up later as we paddled the last few miles to Berens Village |
|
|
Two hours to cross Lake Winnipeg aboard a fishing boat brought us to the end of our trip. |
