A few days ago, I received news from 'Uncle' Phil Cotton of The Wabakimi Project. This is how they are progressing so far in the season:
To date, we've shipped 17 bags of trash out on our rendezvous flights, collected 16 bags at a single public access point on Highway 599 and left 5 other bags behind with notes pleading for their removal. What with our trail-clearing obligations, the horrendous weather we've experienced and our direction of travel, it was better to leave them on the canoe route closer to the highway than attempt to drag them with us further into the interior. I'm working on developing a relationship with the Sioux Lookout MNR Fire Base to see if they could use some of the pre-paid helicopter charter time to pick up these bags when the forest fire season draws to a close. I'll send you a more detailed report at the end of the season.
Thanks Wabakimi!
