Bay Trip Update

2011 Bay Trips at the start of the Groundhog River

Hi All,

On Monday, July 18, we trucked both of Wabun's Bay Trip sections from Pickle Lake, Ontario to the start of their newly-devised trip down the Groundhog River to James Bay.  After days of monitoring the forest fires in Northwestern Ontario, we decided it was time to take a precautionary measure and move our groups out of the area they were in to do the Attawapiskat River and get them into the safer region of Northeastern Ontario.

The same bus that had delivered them to the Root River on June 29th returned to Pickle Lake, two weeks into their trip, picked them up, headed for Thunder Bay where they spent another glorious overnight at the Thunder Bay KOA, and then drove them east to the intersection of Route 101 and the Groundhog River.  As you can see form the photo above, the sections were delighted to get out of smoke and get out of the bus.  They regained their stride and headed down the Groundhog on Tuesday, July 19.

These sections are the embodiment of enthusiasm blended with resiliency - hope you enjoy a glimpse of their happenings - -

Fully loaded trailer!

Happy staff to be back on the water.

Great Teamwork!
