I’m sure many of you have heard the Canadian border will be opening August 9 to American travelers. As is our policy we have waited up to this point to post so that we have as much up to date as possible. There are requirements for crossing starting with the fact that...

Both Bow Narrows Camp and the town of Red Lake are being threatened by nearby forest fires right now. Camp has been evacuated as one of the fires is only about 7 miles away. Brian is staying with our gracious BNC friends at Eagle Falls Lodge located closer to town....
