My first (and only so far) trip down the Noire river (Black river) near Fort-Coulonge, Québec, Canada.

Trip Report – Lower Petawawa – 16-18 Sept 2022
While the original plan was to re-do the Upper Petawawa only two weeks after doing it the first time with a different group, our experience made us change plans and run the Lower section instead. It was also a good opportunity for me to run both sections of the river! The water was once again…

Trip Report – Jan 2009 – Winter Camping Training + Bye Audax
This trip was a combination of two things. Some of my friends were scout leaders of a older teenage group which had their last camp planned (Audax). I needed a bit of training before venturing out in the Adirondacks for my first real winter camping. Since this was a scout group, the destination was the…
Trip Report – Feb 2009 – Adirondacks – Colden, Marcy, Algonquin

Being in the Adirondacks and in winter, this was hike in/hike out style, in a mountain range and in an area where there is a campfire…
