Continuing our trip on the Nina Moose River and making our way onto the Boulder River we encountered a couple of deer. They didn’t seem too concerned about our canoes gliding by in the water as they munched on the grass by the waters edge.
It could be because it was a pretty warm day out, or maybe they are just used to having people paddling by. Either way it was really cool to see them up close and watch them meander their way around the edge of the river.
It was really nice getting into Lac LaCroix. We set up camp at a site in Boulder Bay. A very nice place to spend the evening after a day of paddling.

Hey Bill, the next time you see some frogs, get some video footage. I’d love to see some of them. They’re getting scarcer and scarcer to come across. Thanks for the post!
Hi Bill,
Another great episode with some beautiful scenery! I may have missed an episode or two so will go back and look at those too. By the way….what device did you use to keep the camera so steady when you were filming yourself and pivoting around?
Pat
Hi, Bill,
I did this trip last summer and your video brought it all back!! I, too, would love to know how you kept the camera steady.
Jim
@Jim: Hi Jim, Very nice to hear from you. We love hearing feedback like this. We sure enjoy watching the episodes as well as it brings back memories for us as well. As for keeping the camera steady it depends on the shot your talking about. For the video shot out the front of the canoe we have the camera on a tripod sitting in front of me while I paddle. We are paddling a Hemlock which has a perfect bow for shooting video. Its very wide and somewhat flat so the tripod sits nicely and doesn’t impede upon my paddling. The video shot on portages is quite jumpy, but its about as stable as I can get it when carrying a canoe and pack. I’m holding the tripod out in front of me trying to give the same perspective I have. My arms sure get very tired and I usually end up laying the tripod over my shoulder up inside the yoke.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have any tips / tricks I’d love to hear them.
Thanks for commenting.
Bill
