After retiring as a police officer, I spent 7 summers as a canoeing guide in wilderness areas of the US and Canada. Managed over 3,000 miles in a canoe, and had planned for an expedition from Lake Superior to Hudson's Bay. But, both times the 20 somethings had life get in the way and dropped out. At 67, most of my friends are too old, fat, sick, or dead to do many of the things that I am still driven to do. I did make a real effort to line up an Alaska hunting trip, but the expense, logistics, etc. made it a no-go for now. The Arctic trip is with an older Canadian friend who has expansive experience in the far north, and we've been on a couple trips together already. We should get to see plenty of caribou, musk ox, tundra griz, etc. while fishing for grayling, lake trout, and char.
I had to reread that a couple times . Lol. Im really started to like this forum ,you just never know what adventure your going to read about.
