In 1996, Gary and Joanie McGuffin decided to contribute to a growing concern for the canoe country north of Lake Superior and Lake Huron by paddling across this fragile and threatened wilderness and documenting its pristine beauty. This book is the impressive culmination of their concern for the land and their summer-long paddling adventure. The front of the book contains Joanie's engaging text describing their adventure in a can't-put-it-down style unusual in coffee table books. The rest of the book contains over 100 of Gary's full-page photographs that nearly bring the pungent smell of balsam and the light caress of forest raindrops right into the reader's space. A book to be treasured by paddlers, environmental crusaders, wilderness enthusiasts, and admirers of excellent photography.

From the Back Cover
“The very model of the outdoors couple, the McGuffins spent three months experiencing the Ontario backwoods familiar to Archie Belaney, better known as Grey Owl. Their purpose was to document and photograph the northern wilderness of the famous prewar naturalist, and the result is a celebration of some of Canada's most majestic forests and a tribute to a pioneer environmentalist.”
