Paddler Blogs


Through paddlers and section paddlers have some great stories and inspiring tales to share. Link to their blogs here, and send us your blog as you start logging your journeys on the Northern Forest Canoe Trail.

2010 Paddlers:

Ryan and Catherine Thompson (Hit and Miss) have begun their journey to complete the NFCT and the AT this year.  Follow their adventures by checking out their Blog!

Section Paddler, Chuck Horbert has developed a blog called Canoe Tales.  Join him as he chronicles his adventures across the NFCT!

 Brian and Whitny (aka Ahab and Starbuck) are on the Trail, and sharing their story.  Check out Ahab and Starbuck here! 

2009 Paddlers:

Mike Stavola through paddled the Trail in a kayak in 33 days during the summer of 2009.  Check out his web page describing his journey, Kayakathon

Excellent photos and engaging writing make Rick Beaty's blog a must read.  And for the inquisitive, it's a chance to explore just what is the Crooked Blue Line

Kathy Whitney, wife of 67 year-old kayak through paddler Gil Whitney, has created a blog Gils Bucket List to track his progress.  She promises she'll still call NFCT with updates (we're glad about that), but the blog is worth tracking.

Looks like there's an interesting through paddle afoot for 2009, beginning with the construction of a cedar strip canoe.  Check out the blog site for Noah, Don, and Argy.

Morrigan and Mahsa are slated to begin their journey on July 18th.  Follow their adventures as they guide the Floraburn over the NFCT.  They will be updating their blog regularly with Twitter-feeds.
