Greetings from our shoebox of an apartment!
Sorry it's been a little while since we've updated the blog. We've been pretty busy with the oh so exciting task of dehydrating a pile of food. Right now the inventory stands at 5 lbs of peas, 5 lbs of carrots, 5 lbs of corn, a whole bunch of chicken, ground beef and pork too. The dried apples turned out amazingly....the dried bananas......they taste like farts. Maybe riper bananas next time? Or maybe we'll just stick to the apples. The test of self control is on as the bag of jerky fills up. Any recipes or ideas are greatly appreciated!
Our road maps for Labrador arrive tomorrow, yay! We have our first set of panniers, second set on it's way. Bike racks too along with brand new sporks! Lots of logistics, lots of phone calls and lots of number crunching. Not always fun or stimulating but it's always worth it when shoving off into a long trip.
Waiting for spring....the countdown is on...only 3 more weeks to go!
Adrien and Dave
P.S...it's 50% of the team's birthday tomorrow :)

Welcome!
Greetings to Everybody!
Welcome to our first official blog! This is our newest way to stay in touch with our loved ones and many acquaintances over the course of our latest adventure. As many of you have heard from our dreamings we're planning a 3,124 km human-powered trip from Coboconk, Ontario to Blanc Sablon, Quebec touring through Labrador the "unusual" way. We believe strongly in the experience that naturally occurs when travelling slower than standard motorized transport speed. We hope to gain an honest and grounded perspective of the cultures and environments along the way, documenting the stories we encounter and reporting them back to you. On this trip we'll be rowing, cycling and hopefully canoeing. We are currently in the planning and logistics phase of organizing our departure for May 23, 2011. If anyone has any thoughts, information, contacts or questions, we'll take it all. We're not looking for sponsorship, for what we lack in money and high tech gear we make up for in perseverence and the ability to dream big. Stay tuned for more updates and be sure to check out our Route Page to see what we'll be getting into. That's all for now.
