Sunday morning I'm leaving for a week of overlanding in the north of the province, I'll be back on the 27th.  Just thought I'd inform everyone that for a week my post level will go from basically nothing to absolutely nothing  

The curious ones can track me on my SPOT Messenger page.

[Jimmy]

So the temperature is too nice in the southern part of our province for you.
Have a good trip and most important have fun

PS : don't forget to take some picture from us

Don't worry Jimmy I will.  I will cross the Rupert river which is one of my reasons for going there.



It's the last wild and wide river in Quebec that is accessible by road but after a deal signed with the Cree indian community it was scheduled to be diverted in late 2009 and I don't know if it was done or if they're late.  I'm hoping that they're late and that I'll get a chance to see it before it's too late.

Wow does that sound like fun. Enjoy yourself and I would love to see lots of pictures too!

I'm gonna have to test it tonight and/or tomorrow to make sure everything is in order.  You'll have a chance to see what it looks like before I depart.

Hi all,

Back from my trip.  I've been on the road 7 days, I drove almost 3000 kilometers but it was worth it, the rapids of the Rupert river are breathtaking.

Here's a picture, I'll post more later, I know that it doesn't look like much but to get an idea of how big these rapids really are try and find the wooden platform for visitors, it's about 8 feet long

[Dragonfire]

Pretty picture.

[Kathy]

Welcome home Eric. The picture is great - I can't wait to see the rest. Were you able to go in the water? As far as the platform...

[Touti]

It would be suicidal to try to go in the water Kathy,  look on the left of this picture

[Kathy]

Thanks Eric, I never even noticed that. The water is mesmerizing, I would be so tempted to go in.

It reminds me of going on the Maid of the Mist. It is a boat trip that takes you to right up to Niagara Falls - a wonderful adventure.

On Saturday morning I will be going on a two week holiday to a place I go every year.

Cromer  Its a small sea side town in England... you see, I live in Coventry.... which is the furthest right in the middle of england and the furthest away you can get from the sea :p
