Actually a photo album from my trip to Atikaki PP and WCPP. Mostly good weather with some light rain almost every day, mostly in the afternoons. I was trying out a GoPro to record the adventure so did not spend too much time behind the SLR. On the last day I dropped it in the lake. Fortunately I had swapped memory cards a few days earlier so not all was lost. Some of the pics are captures off the video. Still have to work on the video. However I was a bit disappointed in some of the results. When I had it on my head I often had it pointed up more than I would have liked. Probably should have played with it a lot more before I left.

Anyhow, difficult trip with lots of long but interesting portages. The Craven to Ford Lake portage was very enjoyable, 1500 flat meters of caribou moss and an open jack pines. The following Ford to Artery 2200 meters of bog walking followed by steep climbs on wet rock, descend and repeat. Four rivers,the Wanipigow, Broadleaf, Gammon and Bloodvein. Did not fish much but when I did it was good. Next trip...more fishing and less portaging.

Atikaki June 2017

Great pictures. Can't imagine what you could have done with your "real" camera.

Thanks for sharing.

Really enjoyed looking at your pictures, hobbydog! More info would be interesting - Do you plan to post any of the video or a written report later?

I would like to... I just need to get started. That is the hard part. While I love photo editing I am finding a hard time finding the patience for video editing. It is something I need to work on. Stay tuned.
