It’s noon onAugust 15 and our shuttle driver has just traveled six hours
down one of the most treacherous roads of the North tomeet us, wish
us well andmake the return trip with our van to our final destination—
Waskaganish, Eeyou Istchee, Quebec. We’ve crammed all our necessities
for survival into two outfitted whitewater canoes and a kayak for the
430km journey down the Broadback River to James Bay. We will not see
another human for the next 17 days.
