The Last Day of July for the Voyageur Hudson Bay Expedition

     Not much of a paddle on the last day of July for the Voyageur Hudson Bay Expedition Crew. But here's an interesting tidbit and a photo of the Voyageur Crew.

     Jeremy and Charlie paddled the Red River to Lake Winnipeg and then to God's Lake. They had met Andy at Clear Waters Canoe Outfitting Company when they were picking up their Wenonah Canoe for their trip. This is from the letter they wrote to Dan, the owner.

We are sitting in Thompson waiting for a train to Winnipeg. We have had a brilliant,brilliant trip. I don't know if you have been in contact with Andy. We met them on Playgreen Lake a day south of Norway House. We had just paddled through the night from Limestone Bay because the north shore of Lake Winnipeg was flooded and there was nowhere to stop. We had been asleep about an hour, camped on a tiny rock of an island when they came by and called to us, Andy recognised the canoe. They went on to Norway House and we followed the next morning. They stayed there one night, we stayed three, and thought we were a long way behind them, but we caught up with them at the rapids that enter Gods Lake where they had stopped a day to fish. We all had a couple of good days at the Narrows before they left for Gods River.
