summer expeditions

As usual, I'm interested in summer canoe expeditions of 2 to 4 week duration, usually in northern canada. I know this is impossible for some people, but I put it out there to see if there's interest. I've done this before, so I have experience setting it up. Requires "intermediate" canoe skills and experience in wilderness camping is desirable.
This year I have 3 rivers in mind, with different cost levels: the Snake-Peele River in the Yukon, the George R. in N. Quebec, and the Moisie in NE Quebec. All are challenging.

Hi Andy: Brian Chabot plans to do the Moisie River sometime in his lifetime. He is the leader of the Brothers of the Foam, a legendary canoe renegade group. We will send you as an advance scout. If you survive please take photos. Best of luck finding RICKA paddlers. you may post to NE paddlers and find company.

Thanks Bill for the tip. I may be plugging into another group, but I'll keep it in mind if we need more.

Hey Andy: I wasn't trying to be a smart ass. For most people with two weeks vacation Canada is a big reach. In 1988 about 6 of us went to paddle the Missanabi River in Ontario. Due to lack of good topo maps and one sickness we abandonded the trip after just one day. Guide service is valued. Our group could have got lost again and we would have been bear bait. The North Woods is no small undertaking. Thanks, Bill
