It's November 5th. There's no snow; very little ice. So the canoe is a go. I hope you enjoy the South Saskatchewan River and a tributary as seen from my canoe. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0DHaZLQYeA[/youtube] |

Nice video. Very peaceful. I've been cross country skiing for about 2 weeks! Thanks for posting. |

Thanks Ralph, especially for using the term peaceful. Peaceful is ideal, and this late in the season one pretty much has nature to themself out here. One morning I rounded a bend and about a two year old mule deer perked its head up and away from the browse it was eating and stared. I froze all movement except that which the canoe had left of its momentum. It watched me as I drifted to the bank and held the stare for about another minute at least until it continued eating again. Maybe it decided I was a drifting log, but it wasnt concerned and I watched it for another five minutes before it walked to a bush over a hill. At that point I carried on paddling. There's something rewarding about that. |

Great experience with the mule deer. I had a similar experience on a local creek with a herd of elk. I came drifting around a corner on this small creek and there were about 15 elk. They all turned to look at me but I froze and let the canoe drift. There was no movement for about 15 seconds then one of them decided I wasn't to be trusted so, in about 3 seconds, they all dispersed. Quite exciting! Thanks for the videos. |
