Hi everyone,
this is just a quick update to give you a flavour of what I've been up since I left Yellowknife. I'm in the publlic library at South River and unable at the moment to update any new photos.
From leaving Yellowknife I spent a lovely couple of days with Sarah Hurst and family ( Jim, Keiran, Ethan & Cameron ) who have looked after me during my stopover days in Mississauga. Thanks so much to all of you guys, I had a lovely time and especially enjoyed watching Keirans baseball game - well done he played really well and got a massive hit any cricketer would be proud of ;-)
From there is was up to Huntsville where I met George & Barbara Drought who are extremely experienced canoeists and very well known in Canada. George has written several whitewater guide books and I am now the proud owner of signed copies ! They kindly picked me up in Hunstville, cooked a wonderful BBQ and then gave me a lift out to the Wolf Den. While at the Wolf Den I did some hiking in the Algonquin Park where I saw a deer swimming, a moose and a couple of playful otters.
Since Friday I have been at the Northern Edge Algonquin and spent two nights camping in the Park with our guide Alexis and 4 other people who were on the Wolf Howl experience. There is lots more to tell but in summary had a fantastic couple of days, saw moose and lots of loons. Although we didn't hear any wolves we had great fun howling ! Alexis is a wilderness guide & a great guy who works with the Northern Edge and also his own company Earth Tracks. I will update more when I get the chance but in the meantime check out the links...
Alexis has kindly lent me his truck so I could get to the library but I'm back off to The Edge now until Friday when I'll be hooking up with Wendigolake. I won't be online again until the 14th August probably so take care all and thanks for following,

Hello Sarah
ReplyDeleteNeil and I are off to Norfolk tomorrow in our campervan for a week's holiday. We aim to do some boating on the Broads - not quite at your level yet but, as I'm heaving and panting, I shall think of you and remind myself that 'Those who say it can't be done (me in this instance!!) .... etc etc'! We'll catch up with you again around the 15/16th. Love from us both Sue & Neil
