Leaping, portaging, paddling, casting, devouring, navigating & Canada.
In the twilight hours of summer, two surgeons, a psychotherapist and a photographer set out in two canoes on a five-day, fifty-mile traverse of Quetico Provincial Park in northwestern Ontario. Through all types of conditions and terrain, they paddled and portaged their way across a remote, pristine portion of the Canadian Shield. The old-time outfitter who set them up was taciturn and skeptical from the outset, but, upon completion, he said with the slightest of smiles, “Got any colder out there, you’s be ice fishing,” and closed up shop for the season. —Casey Kelbaugh
