Phpne (705) ^86-2040. to spend time away from a comfortable comfortable bed and hoi water, I decided this summer to join the exodus to the bush. Since my experience in a canoe was limited, I chose a week-long novice canoe trip organized by Canadian Nature Tours, a program of the Federation of Ontario Naturalists. There were twelve of us including the two leaders. The participants participants ranged in age from 21 to over 60 with more than half having little experience in either canoeing or camping. Tents, paddles, lifejackets, lifejackets, food, packs and canoes were provided by Canadian Nature Tours. Our six canoes were launched at Dividing Lake - a 30 minute drive south of Gogama. Each canoe carried carried the two large personal packs of the paddlers, two small packs and a food pack. Although the daily distance rarely exceeded 14 kilometers, we were working upstream for the first part of the journey. Midway through the trip, we crossed the divide and were happy happy to be going with the current. Anyone watching our oddly- assorted little group struggling over long portages might have been forgiven for wondering if we would make it, But each of us was gradually absorbed into that peculiar camaraderie which blossoms in any closed group dependent for its well-being on the actions of the other members. The cohesion of the group owed a great deal to the leaders, both skilled woodsmen and humorists. My only experience of the north had been confined to the cottage country three hours north of Lake Ontario. I was amazed that we encountered encountered no other campers and saw only the occasional fisherman. Unfortunately the only signs of , human presence were not impressive. impressive. There was considerable old garbage at some of the loveliest campsites and along certain stretches stretches there was evidence of heavy lumbering no more than fifty meters back of the shoreline. One night, although the loons called, and the northern lights flashed, we coùld hear heavy equipment working working in the bush until after 11:00 p.m. In the heat of the late July days and long into the evening the whitethroated sparrows called back and forth. Along the river banks winter wrens sang energetically. In the woods the wood thrush piped and the call of the whiskey jack or gray jay replaced the more raucous tones of the blue jay. Boreal chickadees lisped out the chickadee song, a contrast to the livelier song of the black-capped. On the shallow lakes ospreys sailed over us on great wings or plummetted down into the water for a fish. This is the land of acid soil and bog, full of sedge and rush and cattails, cattails, of pitcher plant and sundew, of water parsnip and the deadly water hemlock. In places we stepped stepped ashore into fragrant heaths -sweetgale, Labrador tea and leatherleaf. One night we pitched our tent on a stand of aromatic mint which, crushed under the tent floor, perfumed the night. Other nights we camped on thick mosses amid blueberries so large and succulent succulent that no one walked more than few paces before stooping to scoop up a fat handful. All along the banks of the rivers, colour glowed. Sure signs of fall, goldenrod and Joe-Pye weed and the first of the purple asters blazed. Chokecherries drooped heavy with ripening berries, and the wild roses were hung with the pink globes of hips. In the slower rivers the pickerel weed cast a purple sheeti on the water. Arrrowhead and fragrant waterlily carpeted still places, the blooms waxy and perfect. In the ■ shallows the flat greyish white buttons- buttons- of pipewort or hatpin poked . above the surface. Of course the north exacts a price for all this beauty. Mosquitoes descend descend voraciously at dusk and no tent mesh can quite exclude the vicioqsly biting no-see-ums. On hot days deerflies circled inexorably waiting their chance at a bare back or neck. Many of the shallower lakes discouraged swimming because of large leech populations. As we paddled the final stretch into the wind across Lake Minisinakwa, I felt that we had all made another journey, an internal one. For a time we had banished personal and business worries and entered another world where the body was everything: the heft of the paddle pulling in the water,'the sun hot on one's skin, the pleasure of rest from hard physical labour and the zest of food eaten with good company around a campfire. Perhaps we all need to make both sorts , of journeys regularly to restore ourselves.
