The group for micro-serfs who'd rather be paddling!
this site is not active It is really just an archive of trip reports at this point, but it seemed worth resurrecting just for that. You find that lots of things are broken.
This virtual organization existed to serve its members, a group of friends
in the vicinity of Toronto, Ontario, Canada who liked to paddle together.
We didn't have any meetings. We didn't have any rules. We didn't have any
officers or structure. We just liked each other's company and we liked to
paddle canoes.
Feel free to read our trip logs.

Canoe Quotes
"We are on top of the Big Hill portage tonight... It rises 700 feet in a quarter mile... Up this on some tortured back has come every one of the thousands of traps above the Big Hill, every tin stove, every Dutch oven, every bag of flour that ever nourished a hunter in this far country. Beyond this point every article of God's manufacture, or man's, undergoes a change in status. The value of merchandise is not calculated here by the currency of any nation on earth, but by weight and utility. A pound of tea is worth more than a diamond ring and ten pounds of flour is worth more than twenty pounds of gold." — Elliott Merrick, True North, 1933 |
