It tells me that Mike got the full wilderness experience while his brother-in-law did not.  You only cheat yourself when you duck out of any part of a trip...

Funny, I had visions of a younger John Belushi at first glance. John Belushi in a canoe in the wilderness, trying to read a map...now THAT'S comedy.

I REALLY like today's POD of the Ladyboot Bay twilight. The moon, the still water, everything adds to the feeling of serenity. I can almost hear the loons across the water, and the crackle of a campfire in the background... nice shot, Mike. Thanks for sharing.

Looking at the old pics, the plane looks like an old Norseman. They were pre-war fabric covered, post-war they were aluminum skinned (from what I heard). You had a rare ride. In the body you can see where the fabric was stretched over the frame ribs.

Looks like you're right. The tail, "stretch marks," and the humpback/ cargo door are right on with the photo in the link you posted.

Another fun fact: Rusty Meyer's Flying Service, operating on Rainy Lake in Fort Frances, ON has the oldest DeHavilland Beaver still in operation anywhere in the world. Their Beaver has the serial number three.
