Solo Canoe Trip 2009 (3 of 3)

admin — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 08:37:08 +0000

This is part 3 of a 3 part video taken on a solo trip I did with my dog Maddy (aka The Goose) to the Algonquin region in Ontario Canada. We did a there-and-back starting at Wendigo Lake and moving South to Clam Shell Lake.
The weather was better than I could have hoped for with lakes of glass for almost the whole trip.
It was a nice relaxing trip and a great way to end the season.

Algonquin 8 Day Canoe Trip – Part 1 of 2

admin — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 17:05:08 +0000

This is an eight day trip I did in Algonquin Provincial Park with a friend of mine in 2008. For those who are familiar with my videos, I’m sorry to say that Maddy (the Goose) was not able to join us on this trip. With a 16 foot canoe, two people, and gear and food for eight days we simply ran out of room. It just wasn’t the same without her and I hope to not exclude her from any future trips.

It’s also worth noting that there is little to no video specifically of my friend or myself. I intentionally did it this way since I don’t want these videos to be about my buddy and I so much as I want to simply capture the trip and the feeling of being there.

Hope you enjoy!

Cheers,
Troy

Algonquin Solo Canoe Trip – Part 2 of 2

admin — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:56:13 +0000

While freezing my tail off in January I was pining for a canoe trip. I dug up some videos of a route I did on, and around, Booth Lake in Algonquin Provincial Park with my dog Maddy, aka The Goose (don’t ask). It was a rainy few days but none the less a beautiful trip with lots of portaging, doing a few crafts, great paddling and oh, did I mention rain? If you’ve also found yourself daydreaming about a canoe trip lately then maybe this will help you as it did me.

Cheers,
Troy
