Elk and Thelon Rivers

On Saturday I leave for a 3 week trip down the Elk River to where it meets the Thelon River at Granite falls. From there we will canoe down the Thelon to Warden's Grove just after the confluence with the Hanbury River.

I will be travelling with Nestor Nestor Lewyckyj, Taras Gula and Roman Poluha on what promises to be a terrific exploration of the Canadian subarctic. I hope to re-count the trip highlights from my journal once I return.

Anyone interested in tracking our progress can visit the link to our satellite beacon at after July 11 here.
