To all you "Woodland Escape" Brothers and Sisters and those teaching our histories, we are blessed to have this wonderful video and a gift to have Peter and his wonderful family here to guide us on another adventure. Spent some time exploring Algonquin many "Moons" ago calling in the Wolves. A wonderful experience! Thanks Peter!:-)

[@martinmeltzer2696]

Hey Peter! That sure is some beautiful scenery! (And a beautiful canoe! Thanks for sharing the story behind it!) I am glad that the stunning wilderness has been preserved for future generations to enjoy1 Those Fall colors are just jaw dropping! I certainly understand about practicing... alone... outside... far, Far, FAR from others. Back in the day, my younger brother was learning to play the Bagpipes! When he was starting out on that practice chanter & goose... it was like he was trying to strangle a stray ally cat... and failing... badly! It makes for an amusing story now; but at the time...

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

That’s how my family thought of my fiddle playing.

[@martinmeltzer2696]

LOL! Everyone has to start somewhere when trying to master a skill, musical or otherwise. I will admit that it was pretty discouraging when my younger brother trotted out this old chestnut, and said, "Seven years to learn. Seven years to practice. Seven years to play... to make a Piper!".@@TheWoodlandEscape

This episode is a jewel of composition and editing by Cathy. I think it is one of your best! Oh and lest I forget, thanks for the "wee bit of history". For a few moments, you managed to take my mind away from all that is going on in this troubled world. A beautiful escape that was far too short! I will be watching this episode many more times!!

Just a little note from an Old Alberta Boy. I fulfilled one of the many bucket list items the year after I retired by loading up my canoe( not bark unfortunately) and did some fall paddling around beautiful Algonquin. I have since added another item to that same list, which is not shrinking, but growing,I have plans to go to Saskatchewan to paddle one of the wild rice lakes and harvest some rice the old native way, with sticks. Thank you for your videos they are always calming and informative, both items I need.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Sounds like a wonderful trip and experience.

[@franciswashack89]

I have been living on the west coast of the U.S. for 47 years and I truly do love the western landscape with huge mountain ranges with deserts and deep pine forests. However, the older I get the more I miss the fall colors of N.J., Pennsylvania and Vermont. This video really made me think I should relocate once again. This was a very nice presentation.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

I like the mountains as well but, I’m pretty content living here.

And WHAT a day you had to enjoy the gorgeous Algonquin = Richly Blessed! U stated how the French were good at trapping animals and this gives me some hope. I have a most unwelcome/invasive chipmunk that steals like there's no tomorrow, from my berry bushes Each year I long 4 my fruit and each year I stand confounded at yet another season of want.

What a glorious day to be on the water. Due to drought and heavy east winds with rain we're not going to see much color farther south in Ouisconsing. That is an absolutely gorgeous canoe that Kathy and you have. I can see why you still cherish it. It moves so easily in the water, almost as if it's alive.

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Couldn't agree more!

[@rivaest38]

Hi Peter. I too leapt forward in time and watched this film out of sequence as it doesn’t interfere with your earlier films and the journey I am still following. You certainly had an idilic day to make that canoe trip and the reflection of the trees in the water towards the end of the film is magical. We are fast heading to the mid point of Autumn in the UK but as so often happens we have a series of Autumn storms crossing us from the West that bring strong winds removing many of the leaves before they have the chance to reach their most dynamic colours of the season which is such a shame. A couple of years ago we had a very unusual weather pattern for this time of year and the usual storms didn’t arrive and the trees were magnificent. In fact the colours were so impressive that our news channels and weather forecasters were encouraging people to get out into the countryside to witness it, such a shame it isn’t like that here every Autumn. Right…..back to the eighteenth century, see you there! 🙂 Best wishes as always, Mark

[@TheWoodlandEscape]

Sorry for sending you the storms, I’ll see what I can do about it for next year! I type this out in my moose watch in Northern Quebec and it’s starting to look like the moose may win this year. Soon I will be back in my normal 18th century life. Appreciate your interest.

[@rivaest38]

That would be very nice of you Peter, we’ll look forward to it! Meanwhile, we have storm Babet approaching that is forecast to dump 200 -250mm of rain on parts of Ireland and the UK. Ireland had a bad time of it back in September with severe flooding. It’s looking wet and windy in my part of the UK (East Midlands) but nowhere near as much rain as in the West and parts of Scotland. Happy Moose hunting, hope you’re successful!

@@TheWoodlandEscape It could very well be a " Matawin" They were one of the few that built the cedar plank core then covered it with fiberglass and not painting it, vs canvas as most were doing. The company was founded by Willie Racine , and his son Robert Racine took over and retired and closed the shop in 1985. "The seats were babiche in the traditional weave until 1960. After they used rope weaved in a square pattern. In the 1950s they started replacing the canvas/filler with fiberglass (polyester resin) leaving it clear on the hull. " WCHA FORUMS
