Trans-Taiga Adventure. Part 7

Baie James James Bay was a real highlight, mostly just because it's JAMES BAY! If you get really technical, it counts as Arctic Ocean. (it was very mildly salty...I tasted it) The scenery isn't spectacular, and the waves are mild, but it does have an east coast feel to it...which was different after so many …

Trans-Taiga Adventure: Part 6

La-Grande 1 What would a trip to the Taiga be without mention of the hydro dams? This entire trip wouldn't be possible without them. Both the James Bay Road and the Trans-Taiga were built specifically to facilitate the hydro projects. In fact, the Trans-Taiga was only built shortly before I was born. In the world …

Trans-Taiga Adventure. Part 5

The middle of nowhere. This trip was filled with long distances with no services. From the entrance to the James Bay Road, the average distance between gas stations is more than 400km. With all my research before the trip, I had kind of gotten used to seeing these numbers...it can almost seem normal until you …

Trans-Taiga Adventure. Part 3

New Life Along the James Bay road there was a large area that had been burned by a forest fire. Throughout the trip I would come across burned areas. Some seemed more recent...others were older. In some areas it seemed like life was taking a very long time to return. In others trees were springing …

Trans-Taiga Adventure. Part 2

The James Bay Road is paved, but generally quite rough, with lots of expansion bumps and frost heaves. It is also very remote. It is over 600km long and has a gas station near the middle and in Matagami and Radisson on either end. There are a few campgrounds and picnic areas along the way, …

Trans-Taiga Adventure. Part 1

This summer I set out to drive to the end of the Trans-Tiaga Road, which is one of, if not the most remote road in North America. At the Caniapiscau Reservoir at the end, it is 745km to Radisson, the closest town, and 306 km from the last gas station.  A one of a kind …

Introducing: Skye, my new Jeep.
It's been a different summer. Due to my Jeep's starting issues I haven't really gone on any road/camping trips. This might end up being the quietest summer I've had since 2007...when I first began adventuring. I do have one trip planned with friends later this month, but otherwise I'm just patiently waiting for my new Jeep to arrive from the factory.(with no idea when that will be)
