Hi everyone,
I have been negligent in keeping up with some of you for the last month, as I have been dreaming and planning for some time of taking a long float trip, starting in Calgary, and ending somewhere far away - perhaps St. Louis or New Orleans.
I plan to put-in just beyond the Calgary Weir, in Pearce Estate Park, around 7:00 am. Sunday morning - that's tomorrow.
I don't know how long this trip will last or anything that will happen - it might last a day, or five months. I am taking a laptop, so I may be able to blog along the way, at kevinfloat.blogspot.com. I may also be taking a cat, and a bicycle.
As you can imagine, I still have a lot left to do, but I hope I can at least keep some of you informed by telephone or email as I go along.

2008 North American canoe saga.
About
Hi! I am telling the story of my canoe trip from Calgary to Minneapolis, June 22 - November 21, 2008. Here was my route:
I planned to complete the Mississippi River in 2009, but... didn't! I lived in Minneapolis for over 8 years and have now moved to Colorado in search of work and mountains.
- Bow River
- South Saskatchewan River
- Qu'Appelle River
- Assiniboine River
- Red River
- Bicycle Portage
- Mississippi River

It was good seeing you off this morning, String is back at the Chateau and we're working things out for her. Looking forward to hearing from you.
- Peace
oh dear. string wasn't able to go? PS. Bon Voyage Kevin.
God be with ye, Kevin.
Hoping you have a solar-powered backup for the laptop so we get some more updates (I hear the beavers are awfully stingy with their outlets.) Best of luck!
Enjoying following this, Kevin. I'm some random bloke from England who's just found your Flickr photos too......very interesting stuff!
Good luck in all you do.
