Thanks for the info on Canoe Canada — sounds like something I need to put on my list. It will have to go on the list with a Fall trip to Philmont along the lines of what you did. I am envious but hopeful I can do it someday.
T-Bird, what section of the country are you in? From the Chicago area it’s anywhere from 12 to 14 hours to drive to Atikokan, Ontario.
