Tom's right. The sports shows are paved with Canadian this and fly-in that. Filling cabins is the name of the game.
It's hard for us as people "vested" in the back-country, self-reliant camping to be objective about it. We love Quetico more than Quetico probably loves Quetico. I've never been treated badly by a Canadian regarding my relationship with canoeing up there but yes, people are tight lipped about certain areas etc... I'm tight lipped about my favorite spots too but after some work, time and talking to people NOT found in a Google search, my experiences were greatly enhanced. In fact, 90% of what I know about Quetico, Atikokan, Crown Land was not found among the halls of QJ. To think that we can change anything up there is a little "elitist" IMO. I consider myself fortunate to be able to use Quetico and I hold that favor lightly knowing that it is not a "right" but a privilege. |
