Hi Alan. Thanks for responding. What you say makes a lot of sense to me. I guess I hadn't really thought about what could be done spending a small part of the savings in terms of how much more time you have your paddle in the current. That connection jumped out from your post. I have the summers...

Thank you for all the additional information, Christy. Every little bit helps.

No worries at all wjmc. I do appreciate your follow-up post. Lots of good ideas in it. I would hope to go with at least one friend, but now you do have me thinking about a solo trip. My new Phoenix will be just over 30# and my old SRT is a little over 40#, I think. So, those might fit on a...

Thanks for all the information, Bruce. I have been doing some research on all 3 of those rivers on myccr.com and other websites. I haven't found information easy to find/understand, but really just getting started. I saw Mark's book mentioned a lot of places and looked on Amazon and found one...

All good ideas, Mike. I posted this morning looking for advice on an Alberta trip. I can be there in a long day. There are a ton of rivers up there and the scenery is amazing. Something about the northwoods calls me. It will be hard to let go of the barrenland dreams, but afraid I will be forced...

I would like some advice on a 3-5 day river trip on the east side of the Rockies in Alberta. I have paddled canoes for years. I would like to do a short trip this summer. I don't want to do anything more than class II. There are so many rivers to choose from, so I thought I would see what rivers...

Hard to say thank you when the news you get kind of hits you in the gut. But, I do appreciate the information recped and wjmc. I have only used a float plane once before to fly into the Fon Du Lac back around 2003. It was a long time ago and not nearly the distance I am looking at for the...

I am wondering about a ballpark estimate of fly-in cost for a Thelon river trip. Put in Eyeberry Lake. Take out Beverly Lake. I heard a cost that made me think it is out of the question for someone of my means. Can anyone give me an idea of what that would cost?

Here is a link to a recording of the live unveil at Canoecopia's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Canoecopia/videos/1543698149061923/

Canoecopia has a Facebook page that has had a number of videos. It has been fun to see some of what's there to see. They had a Iive interview with Bear from Northstar canoes this morning. Discussed their new B 17 and had one of the ones they paddled the Rio Grande in. Photos and video of that...

Thanks for the link, Jim.

Please post some photos when you get back (or while there) so those of us that can't make it can enjoy from afar. I've never been. Would love to go someday.

I finally made time to read that post, Canotrouge. Sounds like an epic trip. I sure hope I can paddle the Thelon someday.

Hi Canoeyak, I recently joined and have been doing some cruising through old posts. I saw yours and have a couple questions. I've been looking at a Clipper Prospector 16. How do you like your Clipper? How has the kevlar duraflex held up to tripping? How have you liked your Northwester cover...

The link in you post didn't work for me, Canotrouge. Maybe it has been removed or my computer isn't working. I would like to read about the Thelon trip. It is a river I would like to paddle someday, if I can save the money for another fly-in one day. If it doesn't work for you either, do you...

Sweet trailer, Mike. I would love one of those. And, it sounds like there is a good reason to get a cover. I wouldn't worry too much for the canoes I've bought off craigslist, but the new Northstar Phoenix certainly deserves one.

Thanks everyone for responding. I appreciate the feedback. The advice on a darker color made sense, Alan. And I was not sure what size to buy, 2 or 3, and your comment about hard to find room sometimes for the 3 made sense. Hadn't thought about that. A little googling made me think I can get...

I few years ago I half woke up one night in my tent next to my son and thought I heard something right outside the tent. We were paddling the Fon Du Lac and Waterfound rivers in northern Saskatchewan. I dismissed the noise and went back to sleep. My Swift Dumoine was upside down with all our...

Which brand of cover are you talking about yknpdlr, bag lady or whitewater designs?

"but don't think they would work for transport" thanks for that info BWCA66.
