Solo on the French River
I spent some time on the French River … during a heatwave … planning the route on the fly … during a holiday weekend. I was a bit tired, more than a bit, and truth be told the heat wiped me out. This paddling trip was to condition myself for my upcoming, intense Temagami/Chiniguchi trip after a series of semi-serious injuries.
The French River has a bit of everything: lots of river paddling, different than lakes, with only small portages, great weather, diverse scenery of the Georgian Bay, lots of friendly people and different types of navigation within the paddle itself.
It was a true experiment in the art of winging it, and being a planner, I did suffer a bit of anxiety with finding a c...

    Looks like a great paddle! I loved your commentary surrounding the alligator boats 😂 Great nature shots as always and loved the shot of you in the tree. Looked so relaxing and contemplative. Oh and loved that you took the sunflowers on the whole trip with you. What a great idea! ❤

    Super fun trip!! Still not sure we illustrated the wrath of the bugs, how they drove us insane, and your mild anaphylatic reaction on first night! Also, I would be remiss if we did not mention the "The Greatest Canadian". A fellow camper who we observed, always shirtless and beer in hand, who appear completely unaffected by the bush bugs as we were taking shelter from.

      Wow!! The scenery was absolutely stunning! Loved the underwater shots!! And that portaging looked like a bit of a challenge but you looked like a pro handling the canoe and the terrain. BUGS!!! What a crazy amount!!! It seemed they really wanted to be a part of the show, just fluttering around in front of the camera 😂

    Another great video! Quite the solo trek! Great fortitude to make that journey and be able to enjoy it!! Some of those marshes would have me hesitating when alone. Your experience reveals your strength. Amazing the observation of nature’s circle of life encounter of the frog and snake. Loved the personal reward at the end. Well deserved! 😊 PS remember an epipen next time! 😂 Thank you for sharing natures beauty. ❤

    I lived and worked at KPP for four years back when I was young. Really miss that country, but I've been out on the west coast for years now. The north end, where you went, is nice, especially because there are way fewer people up there, but if you haven't been in the central and south parts of the park, they're really incredibly spectacular. There's nothing like those pure white quartz mountains anywhere else on Earth.

    In the US, we could smell the smoke from those fires. We had days where we couldn't go outside, because the air wasn't safe to breathe, and it made your eyes water. What was it like for you?
