So, you've read about the unstoppable voyageurs, the expeditions of
Alexander Mackenzie, Simon Fraser and David Thompson to "crack the
mountain ramparts" and map the Rockies. You've heard about the trials of
the 3 great portages to the Athabasca: La Vase Portages, Grand Portage
and the Methye Portage (aka Portage La Loche) and now you're imagining
embarking on a trans-Canada canoe (or kayak) adventure of your own.

If you've ever dreamed about canoeing across Canada, but thought you
weren't up to it, think again! For some tips, see:

A fine trip, a fine journal (never saw "Faraday cage" or "rubescent" in a
trip report before), and a fine set of references. Thanks.

The Peace is a fine poling river. Don't give up so easily.
