Canoe Trips From our Website |
| 'Hooligan' has been posting a trip report in instalments of a trip he did some years ago on the Kanairiktok River. It is an exremely enjoyable read, with an extensive & humorous disclaimer. In 'Hooligan's' words, this is a trip report, albeit an old one, of a journey on the Kanairiktok River in Labrador. In Inuktitut, the river’s name means “the place with straight trees good for tent poles”. It was an unknown river of raging whitewater, narrow gorges and falls, set in an isolated, barren landscape. To say I was nervous about this river trip would be an understatement; I was scared shitless! To enjoy this great trip report join us here on the forum. | |

ROMAINE RIVER AUG. 2009 See the Romaine River in August, 2009 as a massive hydro-electric project begins. Four dams are being constructed in this previously untouched wilderness. Keep in mind as you watch this video that most of what you see will be flooded when this project is completed. THANKS TO NICK D'ANTONO for recommending this video! (posted April 16, 2010) |

Sit outside at midnight and close your eyes; feel the grass, the air, the space. Listen to the birds for ten minutes at dawn. Memorize a flower..
