Thank you. It's a great song.

Thank you very much!

Thank you. Those animals were all on the same day.

I'm not going to lie, the bugs were pretty bad haha. It was the first time I had a minor allergic reaction.

That was on July 2 and 3. Flows were quite high at the time and about as high as I've seen the Blackstone. I would think you'd need higher water for a canoe. The first time I did the Blackstone I tore a 6 foot hole in an inflatable Sevylor Colorado kayak because I hit rocks at lower flows. Somebody from my kayak club did the Blackstone with a canoe the next weekend and said it was too low. I've only gone between the Trunk Road bridges. There would be more water after the Brazeau joins though. So that's a tough call. Overall, I'd recommend the Blackstone at above average flows!

Thanks! Yeah, it was great to see a very healthy looking grizzly. It made me smile!

Actually, I was less than 50ft away. I paid $100 for the camera about 10 years ago, so the camera is not very good and was hardly zoomed at all. I'm not sure what you are asking regarding the audio. My camera recorded the wind sound and I left that in. The song might appeal to some people and not others.

I thought about using Hopeless Wanderer although it was a bit too intense.

Matthew Morrison 🤔 yeah that might have been a little distracting 😂.

Thanks! I appreciate that.

Thank you!

Thanks Nick! I haven’t looked at the book you mentioned, but I showed the bridge I started at the beginning and I got out at the Forestry Trunk Road bridge. It took about 2.5 hours. There is more and more water as you get closer to the Brazeau Dam as the various creeks join it. Yes, I can’t really recommend taking a cheap open Costco kayak like I did haha! The main issue is you take on a lot of water and then your balance goes way down, which is why I flipped twice. I also had to drain it several times. A few years ago, I took an inflatable kayak from the bridge before to the bridge I started at, but to do that stretch you need high water. I tore a large hole in the kayak that trip! Here is a video of Michael going down it during high water in spring: th-cam.com/video/lLvexis0hsU/w-d-xo.html

Hey, thanks for the reply. I hope to paddle down there next summer. I don't know much about kayaks, but you could probably find a good used WW kayak for a decent price... maybe?? Yeah I've been watching Michael for a few years now, he has come a long way, very impressive. Thanks again, take care.
