Following David Thompson's Trail – As they have for over a quarter century, Hide-Away Canoe Club paddlers Peter Scott along with Geoffrey and Michael Peake scout a set of rapids before running it. In this case, it was the famed Thompson Rapids on the Fond du Lac River in northern Saskatchewan part of their Northern Crossing canoe trip. The day was perfect, the water warm and the history quotient high – an ideal scenario to be running northern waters. For a trip report through the eyes of a newcomer to northern canoeing, see page six. For more Northern Crossing photos and a complete trip journal and history of the route go to www.northerncrossing.ca.
