We're in Mattawa!!!! Yeah.....Just had breakfast at the local souvenir store/
restaurant overlooking the Ottawa River and train bridge. We had a long 16 hour (only officially 14 hours of daylight) paddle and portaging day yesterday and ended up camping on the lawn of a kind woman when we arrived after dark. We're going to try to see if we can supplement our maps with more detailed Ottawa River information before we head out later this morning.
People we meet....
Special thanks goes out to Gary Davison of world record muskie fame (he's the brother and was driving the boat) http://www.driftertackle.com/news/11_06.php who drove us with our equipment from the Marina to the Voyageur Inn. As well, thanks to Natalie who offered backup portage assistance. Thanks Dave Burns and Ivan Ryman for helping with the NB Portage.
Day 14
We just finished the steep Jean Talon Portage on the Mattawa River. We were told by a couple of hikers that the cliff was the scene for a Molson Canadian commercial. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQr_e8AaHME&mode=related&search The weather's supposed to be 30c tomorrow....nice....
