A 30-day extension of the US/Canada Border closure was announced today.

Looks like much of May is now a "no-go" for Quetico trips.

Got a call from the RABC office last week. Told them to keep my application and process it when the border opened. He didn't sound very hopeful.

Failed to secure border permit but did manage to pick up border collie.

Solus......Congrats on the new addition!  My "puppy" passed last year and I'm thinking about another companion.....border collie is on the list.  They're a perfect size and smarter than I am so it could keep me out of trouble.  Now....how to harness all that energy  Wink

Stay safe......

Nice pup Solus!  His name is very conservation minded!  TomT can give you plenty of advice on canoe dogs.  He's got one of the best I've ever seen..

On RABC's, mine must've been in the last few batches they worked, as you'd mailed yours just two days after I did, IIRC.  HND - did you end up mailing yours in too?

Aldo!  That's cool.  As for my dog - I've told others that I didn't have a whole lot to do with how well she does in canoe country.  I got really lucky is all.  I'm sure the first couple years will be a challenge but I know you're up to the right way of doing things.  And this is a very intelligent breed so with maturity you will have one fine companion there. Good choice.

Whenever I take Luna into Ely the first thing we do is play frisbee in the park.  The "Chuck it" brand of soft frisbee holds up real well and it's easy on the dogs mouth.  It's a fun thing to do and these dogs love it!

For the heck of it here's a video I shot in 2014.  Luna was 3 years old and check her out playing frisbee.  You can skip her swimming in the river by going to 1:45.  You might want to turn the sound down, I put on a pretty raucous soundtrack.

TomT,

  I like how Luna keeps turning her head to make sure she's taking YOU for a play session!  Wink Grin Grin

St, I had the camera so was slower than normal. Border Collies are super tuned into everything we do and I’m sure she was wondering why I wasn’t walking normally.

   I've been looking for an alternative to a GoPro type camera for recording landing a fish or walking a tough portage.

I don't like even wearing a hat, so there is no way I'm strapping a camera to my head. I don't want to mess with a bunch of different mounting options either.

    I was watching a COPS show and while one of them was jumping fences and chasing down the perp, it hit me!  Why not a cop cam you can clip to your pack strap/shirt pocket. They are weatherproof, small and have audio. They have an internal battery that will give you about 10 hrs of video.

  That's more than enough to record landing a nice fish or maybe some portage/campsite pics, at least for me. They even have night vision and GPS.

  You had one when you take Luna, you don't have to hold that camera, you could just chase your "perp".  Wink Grin

I got an e-mail today stating that Ontario's parks are closed until May 31.  They will cancel your reservation and give you a full refund.  I didn't want to go anyways.  Now I have  to hope that the parks will be open in June.

Forgive me my ignorance, once again.  The Ontario parks opening is a good start, but I would guess the border may still be closed non-residents?
