Last of the fall colours trip, Arrow Lakes, BC

Just a skiff in the Purcell mountains but sadly, our glorious fall party is just about done......

Good write up, thx for taking the time. These things take time (the write up I mean)!! This route is on our list and dropped a notch or two after the all the paving but still sounds like a great trip. Looking forward to your response to "Trail Talk"..... cheers

Southern Saskatchewan a few weeks ago where it seems everyone is doing very well in this rural municipality, despite there being no MacDonald's or Disney worlds for many miles..... Well except for one store guy.......

Bad Fishing? A real ar#e lives down the road? Broken Heart? Really bad road with lots of potholes?.....

Are you back home? Looking forward to your write-up! Just got back and letting the dust settle. 13,300 kms, just an amazing trip. We picked up the last of our paddling stuff in Yellowknife (stayed on Latham Island near the Air Tindi float plane base. We could have thrown a rock and hit...
