Ah, those were the days. Men were men and didn't need Gortex and polypro to survive this coast. Gotta respect the many "pioneers" who completed that route, often by canoe or dory (row boat). Modern canoe voyageurs face challenges even today, that are oft avoided with a low-slung kayak. Anyway, don't let Scott from California hear about your dads no-tech trip. :-) I'll be checking out the book too. Thanks.
