What starts as a simple fishing trip becomes a cathartic experience in the untamed wilderness of Ontario’s northwestern canoe country. A nine-day fishing trip turns into a profound life-altering event and marks the beginning of a lifelong love affair with the untamed wilderness of Canoe Country in northwestern Ontario. Author Darryl Blazino describes how he became entranced by the beauty and wonder of a land that beckoned him back again and again. This collection of personal stories captures a range of experiences and emotions highlighting the very best and very worst of times gleaned from more than 12 years’ worth of adventures in the great outdoors. Incredible close-up, intimate encounters with wildlife, harrowing brushes with danger, the challenges of wilderness camping with small children, and moments of intense splendour and serenity are told in descriptive detail and illustrated with breathtaking photography.

Отрывок из книги
To my wife, Michelle, for all of her support and to Rod MacKenzie for introducing me to this wonderful land.
What adventures we have shared.
.....
For the remainder of the trip, the race against time had ceased. Every moment, every activity was to be savoured. We walked along the trail beside the entire length of Chatterton Falls and marvelled at the enormous pines and picturesque rapids. To this day I feel it is among the most beautiful places on this earth.
