 The "put in" on Trout Lake at North Bay |
Don't believe it if Greg or Sarah tell you it was a rough trip. |

|
Times have changed since the voyageurs loaded their canoes with furs for the trip down the Mattawa. Firewood was pretty scarce at Grasswell Point unitl Bob and Martine showed up with this load. |
 A quiet moment on Talon Lake before the action begins for the two youngest paddlers on the trip; Michael & Cody |
 This is the only shot we have of Don (left) that shows more than his back. He's a canoe racer and is always far ahead of the group. |
 Martine & Sylvie at Parreseux Falls, one of the few obstacles we had to protage. |
 Amelia & Greg in the moving water below Parreseux Falls. |
 Scenes like this are one of the reasons we do this. |
 Greg & Robert in a class III. |

Cody couldn't get engouth whitewater. He and Wayne sailed through this with ease. |
 And the prize for the most laid back run goes to Tim & Sarah. |

If Sarah had a nicer husband he wouldn't have made her carry this barrel over the portages. Must have weighed 500 lbs.! |

It's a tough job Martine! |

"Have water pump will travel." Need filtered water? Call Amelia for your next trip.

In the early morning of Day 2 at Graswell point, Don appeared out of the fog in his C1 racing canoe. He had raced the day before in the annual North Bay / Mattawa race and was ready for more action. |

The falls at Talon Chute where we launched ourselves into the current for a speedy ride down river. |

Someone told Michael to go jump off a cliff - - and he did! |

We paddled past a number of these big snappers. |
