In 1967, in celebration of Canada's 100th birthday, Les Voyageurs
left Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, in ten 26-foot canoes. These
one hundred gallant men, representing eight provinces and two
territories, travelled 5,286 kilometres to Expo '67 in Montreal.
The trip took them across such major lakes as Winnipeg, Lake of the
Woods, Superior, Nipissing, Huron and Georgian Bay and through 68
grueling portages. After 104 days of travel, the team from Manitoba
paddled into the Expo site as the winners and claimed first prize.
In "Whitewater Devils" Boudreau includes an unbelievable collection
of adventures that take place on, in and below the raging rivers
and mighty lakes of BC. There are the "grizzly" stories of wildlife
photographer Leon Lorenz and the tales of Ian Norn, whose love of
kayaking has taken him to roaring rapids and canyons that were out
of the reach of humans just a few short years ago. Then there is
diver Russ Logan, whose normal day on the job sends him swimming
through 85 feet of 36-inch pipe beneath four feet of riverbed or,
on another occasion, into the darkness of the Nechako River to
remove a drowned moose that was caught in the trash rack of a pulp
mill.
In his eighth collection, Boudreau once again shares the stories of
the brave, adventurous--sometimes foolhardy--men and women of
Northern BC and beyond.
