The expedition team had to, as you know, repair their canoes last week due to severe equipment problems. In good news, the repairs are holding up so well that the guys have decided not to look for new boats for the next canoe section. Nicolas, Etienne and Philippe also climbed Meadowbank Mountain, 200 meters high. Atop the mountain, they found ancient Inuit occupation sites, tent sites, rock circles, and even artifacts on the mountain, including a tool carved from a caribou leg bone.
Our expedition team currently has very varied days, crisscrossing the territory through chains of lakes and minor rivers. So far, progress is good. They plan to return to the Back River soon. However, a rather severe problem will require a lot of adaptation for the canoe section. It is an equipment problem. The guys have noticed lately that one of their canoes has started to delaminate. Each day, the canoe continues crumbling from the inside, and cracks appear on the hull.
