Algonquin canoe trip ~ May 1968

"...in walking you are bounded by every sea and river,

and in a common sailing-boat you are bounded by every shallow and shore;

whereas, ...a canoe can be paddled or sailed, or hauled, or carried over land or water".

                                                                                                                                                          -- John MacGregor, 1866

Mystery man ~ name needed?

Has that low-riding canoe got some water in it, Rick?

Andy Petersen's boater hat took a beating

Bravely retrieving cutlery that had sunk to bottom of the frigid lake

The best portage is a short portage

There are 11 paddlers pictured in the photos above.   Can anyone remember who the 12th paddler was?   Photos from the 1969 and 1971 canoe trips will be posted in a day or two.   Please check in then and help identify a couple of the mystery paddlers if you can, and feel free to make any comments if you wish.
