Hello God's River from the Voyageur Hudson Bay Expedition Crew

Wednesday, July 27, 2011 by Sue prom
     Nine hours of paddling for the Voyageur Hudson Bay Expedition Crew on July 26th.  After relaxing on God's Lake for days the Voyageur Crew paddled just under 15 miles and are now on God's River.  This is the last leg of their long journey from Lake Superior To Hudson Bay.
  
From the book Canoeing with the Cree,

"The Hayes is low now." he said, "and it might mean days of wading and dragging your canoe. The God's River is full of bad rapids and the portages are tough, as far as I have gone, to Sucker Creek, but from there it is clear sailing, I am told. The Sucker Creek rapid is tough and has no portage, If you don't know much about rapids, you'd better learn before you hit that one...
The tremendous Hayes rushed on and on in great long sweeps between limestone cliffs one hundred feet high, and we rushed on with it, putting on mile after mile behind us, determined not to stop until York Factory. Our views were in four- and five miles stretchesnow, and we approached each turn breathlessly, straining to see the broad expance which would mean out long, long trip was ended and our goal accomplished."
