As the sun get warmer.....all I can think about is my canoe.

The Frasier river is intense (BC)
The Churchill river system, like the voyageurs used to do (Fur traders) is pretty intense too. Do you like or dislike portages?
There is just soooo much great canoeing up here that asking that question is like asking if there is any good brewries in Germany, any good shopping in LA, any good wines in Bourdeaux.... you get my meaning.
Did you know that in order to be a Canadian citizen, you must build a birch bark canoe and do a class 4 with it? It's true.
Canoeing is like our national anthem, our flag, our hockey, everything rolled into 1.
I did a 15 day canoe trip once. I loved every single day. No, I did not get tired/bored/homesick/sore. It was awesome.
Camping too. We have camp spots here that will take your breath away, but anything that you can drive a 5th wheel to is just parking away from home. Camping, on the other hand, is hard to get to, beautiful, and rugged. I have noticed our provincial and national campgrounds get more and more crowded over the years. There are still fantastic spots IF YOU CANOE IN!!!
We are so spoiled here that what is okay to me is probably heaven to you.
