2005 Trip Logs -- 70 Days in the Boreal Forest
This year we're traveling the area north of Woodland Caribou Park. This is the area that's the proposed UNESCO World Heritage site so we thought we'd explore it to experience some more of the wonders of the boreal forest. Our trip will start on July 5 just east of Berens Lake , work our way southwest to Roderick and Keeper lakes, then northwest to Family and Fishing lakes. From there we'll head northeast to Bradburn lake and work our way north to Deer lake. Then we'll follow the Cobham river as it winds its way west and then back east to Sandy lake. Following that we'll head south to North Spirit lake and west through Margot, then north to Warwick and southeast to Critchell and McInness. We end the trip by working our way to Barton lake and back to Berens lake. If all goes well we'll exit on September 13. Total distance will be in excess of 1400 Km over the 71 days we've got planned.
We're bringing a PDA and a collapseable keyboard to record our observations so We'll try to stop at each of the seven First Nations communities we pass and see if we can use a computer to upload our logs.
As the song says ... "See you in September"
