Wabakimi is the Plan

watching YouTube has made me to curtail my enthusiasm for a long Wabakimi trip. This first one will be easy going by Wabakimi standards. I’m just too old and busted up to take 2 weeks gear over 50+ portages now, not likely to improve a whole lot by August. Looking hard at Smoothrock Lake via Little Caribou Lake right now. I could devote many days to hanging out there looking for pictographs and fishing.

Try contacting Clem Quenville, a local First Nations guy in Armstrong who is a good contact for road shuttles and secure vehicle storage. I have been told he also allows his customers to camp overnight on his property before/after trips. He is very reliable and reasonably priced. He is also the postmaster in Armstrong. You can find his contact info on the Friends of Wabakimi website.

Other service providers in Armstrong would be Mattice Lake Outfitters (Don Elliot) or Wabakimi Canoe Outfitters (Bruce Hyer). Contact info available on FOW website.
