OMG. Total insanity. Just beautiful Mark. Thank you for sharing your ride with us. I think it's one of the most scenic parts of the world. It must have been quite an experience.
Thank you so much it is so amazing up there and will be going back many more times for sure! It blew me away for sure the beauty was mind blowing. And wait to the next few videos it gets even better!! Thanks again for checking out the video and for reaching out all the best. Cheers!
Hey Mark, three of us did a French river to Georgian Bay trip in July (3 Seadoos). Started at Hwy. 69 on Pickerel river, camped along the route. Tried going down the different rapids and we succeeded on the third ones (I believe there are only 1 rapids that you can semi-safely come back up in the summer). camped on the Georgian bay islands for a night and came back up (total 3 nights). Great trip. Wish we had a drone, so we could scope out the rapids. We had to get off, and go on foot to check the rapids to see if we can make it down and up. Had a blast.
Ah that is so great that you guys got to do that. Yes that is what I heard and found as well that only one that is good is in the five fingers rapids and then used the crooked rapids to get up and down, they were so fun! Nice I want to get out to the islands to see how the camp sites were. Are they ok for a sea doo and may I ask what site number you stayed at? Smart with the drone as you can see I did the same things as you did to try and find a good route. Well thank you for sharing about your trip I know I will be going back up there next season for sure so much more to see and explore. All the best Cheers!
On the upper French near Alban. I have to trailer to Pickerel River/hwy 69 to access the bay via the Bad River. So did u figure out the access on your own?
That is so great! yes was a lot of looking at maps and then putting the drone up to see what might work and then found the crooked rapids and they worked great to go up and down from the river the GB and back.
I was surprised it was around 11 feet deep but very narrow. Right I would have liked the sand for sure but nope rocks for us but makes it fun for sure! Thanks as always for checking in out cheers!
Oh geese Mark, what an amazing, amazing, location!! Would you be so kind as to share your itinerary? Does not matter in what format. For example a print screen of your track.
Yes it is just amazing up there and will be going back many times I’m sure! I will be posting that when the series comes to end with maps and key location and information so stay tuned and thanks again so much for checking out the video and for reaching out cheers!
LOL yes not sure what one you would pick. But in the end no scrapes was not as bad as I thought it would be just need to pick your line and have it in sports mode so you have all the power if you need it.
Cheers Thanks so much! Mine is the Garmin Echo Map 62CV now I believe they do not make that one any more and now it is the 72cv. I would highly recommend picking one up has been the best thing I have put on my seafood by far!
Great vid. I live in Timmins On. 4 hrs north of where you shot this. I plan on doing this next summer. 1 question. What would have you done if you broke down?
Thank you so much! oh nice would love to get up that way. Nice you will have a great time exploring the area. Great question I have some basic tools and a power bank for the battery and then I have a Zoleo GPS EMG unit that can send an sos from anywhere and can send texts even if there is no cell phone signal. Highly recommend it. If you have any more questions please let me know. All the best Cheers!
Of course! Oh wow nice that is a great unit and you will have an amazing time on that Explorer. Thanks again so much for watching them. You and me both cant wait!
All I can say is beautiful ❤
have to agree with you on that is was just so beautiful up there!
That is exactly the camping trip we want to do with our group. As always, great job with the drone.
I highly recommend it for sure! Let me know if your planing to go as I will for sure be going back as it is just so amazing!!
Won't be until next summer. Would be great to do trip together. Only 3 of us camp.
Yes for sure let's work on something over the winter just keep in touch.

Really bold or gutsy going near those rapids and up the narrow shute at the end of the video. Any scrapes?
