| May 29 2006 | Another failed food experiment (like Flaba Maka Yaka). This one was scrambled tofu with ketchup and crushed peppers. Sounds good, but tastes bad. |

| February 24 2006 | Sometimes it feels very good to be a walker. |

| February 12 2006 | Parliamentaly cool.� |

| February 12 2006 | Bobby showing off his moves on the canal. |
| February 11 2006 | Bobby's Uncle John joined us for a day near Ottawa... he then took us for some skating and beaver tails in the city... lots of fun. |
| February 11 2006 | We setup our tent during the night and in the morning, while walking back to the road we saw this sign... we're still alive and well... so no harm done. |
| February 10 2006 | An awesome guy named Griff Slaughter. We stayed with him in Pembroke... he lent us flannel P.J.'s while we watched movies. |
| February 7 2006 | Updating our journals in a nice restraunt (where we met Marco and Caroline). |

| February 4 2006 | Our first glimpse of Quebec... just across the Ottawa river. |
| February 4 2006 | The sled in action. |
| February 4 2006 | One of our new sleds! They are sweet and sour. It's easy on our backs (when there is snow to pull them on), but our stuff gets really REALLY wet (even with our bag covers on). Also, pulling the sleds on pavement sucks. |
| February 4 2006 | A camping spot in the woods. |
| February 2 2006 | As we entered North Bay Bobby got really sick... lucky for us, a very friendly couple let us stay at their house and wait out the sickness. Thanks Allan and Nicky! |
| January 30 2006 | Lake Nipissing with some ice huts (I think that's what they are called) on the frozen water. |

| January 27 2006 | Bobby diggin' into a big pile o' poutin. |
| January 25 2006 | Tim Horton's (I think) makes up about 80% of the garbage we see. Maybe they should look into a better trash control program. |
| January 25 2006 | Taking a break on the side of the road. |
| January 24 2006 | We found a great side road and did some night walking. My breath made some nice designs in the night. |
| January 23 2006 | Some trees... I've run out of things to take pictures off... I wanted to bombard the site with photos... Inspiration will come. |
| January 23 2006 | We're Back!! After a very nice break, we've returned to "The Walk". |
| December 19 2005 | Getting our coordinates. |

| December 16 2005 | We were going to sleep in a barn one night, but many little critters had already made it their home, so we slept outside. |

| November 22 2005 | Crossing over McLean's River... We weren�t expecting a bridge... so these two icy logs were a pleasant surprise. |
| November 22 2005 | Walking along the Voyageur Trail is great... no transports, no highway, just fresh air and scenic views of Lake Superior. |
| November 22 2005 | We've just started walking along the Voyageur Trail... it hasn't been used in a while and there are lots of tree falls along the route. |
| November 22 2005 | Another sunrise. |
| November 22 2005 | It's been really cold in the tent lately... I'm not sure what we are doing wrong... |

| November 20 2005 | Some nice red rock with icicles always makes for a good photo. |
| November 19 2005 | This picture doesn't really explain a lot... but the highway got shut down because of a PCB spill... we had the road to ourselves as we walked by kilometres of cars waiting for the road to re-open. It was a nice few hours of highway bliss. |
| October 19 2005 | When the tent gets wet... we have to dry it off... no matter where we are. |
| November 19 2005 | It looks like we are getting ghostly white. |

| November 9 2005 | A beaver swimming in the water... we didn't get any drinking water from this river! |
| November 8 2005 | It didn't take long for the snow to melt. It doesn't really matter what the weather is like... it is always appreciated. |
| November 6 2005 | Delicious Snow! |
| November 5 2005 | The new snow made our walk far more scenic. We took a break in the woods and it was beautiful. |

| October 29 2005 | We got these sweet patches made for our backpacks. We're excited. |

| October 27 2005 | Our secluded camping spot in Kenora... behind a laundromat with lake front property. |
| October 26 2005 | We watched a movie and setup the tent in the theater to dry it out. We were the only ones in the theater... so why not? |
| October 26 2005 | Another giant monument... this is the biggest fish I've ever seen. |
| October 26 2005 | We've arrived in Kenora, a town built along Lake of the Woods... a beautiful area if you ask me. |
| October 25 2005 | Ontario! Let the province of huge size begin. |
| October 25 2005 | I was cooking some oatmeal in the morning and I looked up to see 3 deer standing very close. This one was very interested in me. |
| October 24 2005 | Bobby is seen here getting some TransCanada trail footage. We walked through Whiteshell Prov. Park and it was beautiful. |
| October 24 2005 | We were walking down a large rock and I took a tumble when I slipped. Luckily the only damage was to my pole. I was able to bend it back into shape and it's working great again! |
| October 21 2005 | We met some nice people and they surprised us at night with a big jug of hot chocolate and snacks... thanks Minchins! |

| October 16 2005 | Our welcoming sign as we entered Winnipeg. |

| October 13 2005 | Another awesome sunset... but this time just outside of Holland. |
| October 13 2005 | I believe we took a wrong turn somewhere back in Glenboro. How did we cross the Atlantic Ocean without even getting our boots wet? |

| October 12 2005 | We saw a giant camel! |
| October 12 2005 | We came to a school to use the Internet and two grade 12 students interviewed us for their local paper (merged!). We offered them Fudgee-O's... but they didn't want any. |
| October 9 2005 | Behold... the longest suspension foot bridge in Canada! We walked along it twice and then the road was all bouncy and wavy for the next 2 hours. |
| October 9 2005 | We became prospectors... but then decided it wasn't a good career move. |

| October 6 2005 | It looks like we only have moustaches in this one. |
| October 6 2005 | After the snow we set off and took a nice break by a hay bale. If I ever have an office, this one will go on the wall. |
| October 5 2005 | It got a little too snowy and windy so we headed back into Carlyle and met some wonderful people at "Old Fashioned Foods". They gave us a free lunch and some tea to take with us!! |
| October 5 2005 | Our tent in the morning... it got far worse as the snow piled up. It's still snowing right now and it's caught us a little off guard. |
| October 4 2005 | Checking the map to see how close we are to Manitoba. |
| October 4 2005 | We found this guy with his hands bound on the side of the road. We checked to see if he was still alive... but we were too late. |
| October 4 2005 | A bull moose charged at me... I survived. |

| September 29 2005 | Justin and Brandon from Radville Sask. These guys pulled a huge 180 cop stop in the middle of the road when they saw us. They pulled over and delayed their trip to Regina to hang out with us for a while. They were RAD! |
| September 27 2005 | A garbage can we found along the way... great! And no... Bobby is NOT eating from it... |
| September 27 2005 | Here I am hiding from the wind behind a hay bale... this is typical day to day procedure: hide behind hay. |
| September 26 2005 | Bobby and I infront of a passing train... We were walking the line and it was the first train that we've seen in a while. |
| September 25 2005 | Dennis is biking from Seattle to Chicago. He is the first person I've seen this trip that's doing something along the same lines as I am... cool... thanks for stopping Dennis. |
| September 24 2005 | The Oasis... the only light for what seems to be days... a Pepsi machine. We dump in all our change and have a few moments of bliss. |
| September 23 2005 | Signs of a cold night still evident on our tent... |
| September 23 2005 | We took a mid-afternoon rest in some tall grass. |
| September 22 2005 | After all our new supplies arrived at the Ponteix Post Office we headed down the tracks... |
| September 20 2005 | There wasn't a laundromat in Ponteix, so Bobby and I hit up the local car wash... we blasted the dirt right out of our clothes. |
| September 19 2005 | A drawing that Bobby did of us walking along. |
| September 19 2005 | Bobby is riding Ponteix's Plesiosaur. |
| September 17 2005 | A time-lapse taken at night with a full moon. |

| September 15 2005 | Setting up a shot by the side of the road. |
| September 15 2005 | Bobby and Kyle fishing by the Frenchman River. Where did they get those rods? |
| September 14 2005 | Some cows staring us down. They either run from us, or run to us... it makes no sense. |
| September 14 2005 | We dropped in at Eastend... home of "Scotty" the T-Rex. |

| September 6 2005 | A pretty nice camping spot if I do say so myself. |
| September 6 2005 | We stopped in at a colony to fill our water bottles, and they invited us in to talk to the school about what we are doing. It was really fun... they kids gave us a tour of the place and they fed us lunch! |
| September 6 2005 | A wonderful dinner droped off to us from some friendly Hutterites. They have taken good care of us along this section of the journey. Very friendly people! |
| September 6 2005 | Our water bottles (We filled them with water from an old hot water heater in an abandoned house). Water has been pretty hard to find. |
| September 5 2005 | Wheat! |
| September 5 2005 | A nice photo-op in a field of wheat. |
| September 5 2005 | Bobby and I in the tent... having a laugh. It's actually pretty roomy in the tent... We have to keep all our bags outside. |
| April 26 2005 | Then it got really cold and snowed. |
| April 24 2005 | Burnt and Happy in the sun. |
| April 24 2005 | Shade is a very rare thing on my trail. I found a silo and hid from the sun for a while. |

| April 23 2005 | Flatness |
| April 22 2005 | I've been listening to music the last few days... it's wonderful. |
| April 22 2005 | The leaning barn of Milo (a small town in AB). |
| April 21 2005 | The sun setting behind my tent. I don't think it's normal for people to camp in southern Alberta. |
| April 21 2005 | Me in a field. If you look close... you can tell I'm starting to look more and more like a worn-down man. |
| April 21 2005 | This is what I've been seeing for the last week. |
| April 21 2005 | There is a county called Vulcan in Alberta... I guess they are all Trekies. This is the sign that welcomes you to their county. |

| April 1 2005 | Some Rocky Mountain Sheep heading up the side of a cliff. |

| March 24 2005 | Pickering Hills? Who would have guessed there would be such a place! Awesome. |
| March 23 2005 | A beautiful view? The Rockies are amazing. |
| March 21 2005 | On one of the coldest mornings I've had so far, my tent had a good coating of frost. It makes for cold hands when packing it. |
| March 16 2005 | Stoking the fire in a cabin on the Kootanay Pass. It 'twas a pleasant night. |
| March 15 2005 | I thought this sign was a little funny/gruesome... so... here it is. |
| March 13 2005 | The Dewdney trail: Very different from the relaxing rail beds I've been walking on. |
| March 10 2005 | A facial hair update. Looking scraggly. |
| March 10 2005 | Possibly some bad weather coming in? It rained a little that night. |

| March 9 2005 | An silhouette of a horse on the horizon. |
| March 9 2005 | After Rock Creek, a dog named Ralphie decided to walk with me. He followed me for a few hours, then I took him to the police because he was really far from home. |
| March 9 2005 | Just outside of Rock Creek, I found the only water source for a few kilometers. I was a little iffy about filling up my bottles from it because it was right on the side of the road... in a ditch. |
| March 8 2005 | A relaxing time was had at Kettle Valley Park. I unpacked my stuff to dry out after the night rain. |
| March 6 2005 | Yet another photo of the trail before me. |
| March 6 2005 | Getting water out of a little creek can be difficult sometimes. |
| March 6 2005 | Toby (Stephen's dog) had a good sleep on our legs the previous night. I think he was happy to get out in the morning.� |
| March 5 2005 | Stephen Atherton and his dog Toby walked with me for a day. |
| March 1 2005 | The remnants of the Kelowna fires in Okanagan Mountain Prov. Park with the Kelowna bridge in the background. |
| February 28 2005 | Where I finally gave up for the day. This was probably the most beautiful area I've camped so far. It over-looked Penticton and Okanagan Lake. |
| February 28 2005 | Me looking over the orchards of Penticton. |
| February 28 2005 | If you've ever wondered where Silk comes from, it's grown in the fields outside of Penticton. |
| February 28 2005 | Some more "wild life". |
| February 28 2005 | 7 BONE! This is dedicated to the 7 Bone crew. Check out www.7bone.ca |
| February 28 2005 | The sun shinning through the clouds as I entered Penticton. Once again, the camera doesn't do it justice. |

| February 27 2005 | My first glimpse of Okanagan Lake with the small town of Summerland in the foreground. |

| February 23 2005 | My sister Kath joined up with me for 5 days. She loved that awesome looking hat so much she never took it off :) |
| February 8 2005 | I thought the sun was nice, and enjoyed the heat on my face. The effect: SUNBURN!��What's with my hair... it seems to defy the laws of nature. |
| February 7 2005 | It kind of sucks looking at my pictures. My digital video camera takes pretty grainy pictures... I wish it could capture the beauty of these sights. |
| February 7 2005 | A beautiful shot of the trail ahead of me. It's amazing how easy it is to walk all day when the sun is out. |
| February 7 2005 | My kitchen. |
| February 6 2005 | The river I had to cross... Its name: Cold Water River. It was very appropriately named. |
| February 6 2005 | I got to a river without a bridge... but it wasn't too deep... so I crossed it barefoot. It came up to my thighs (I misjudged the depth). I had to do it twice... and it wasn't at all pleasureable. |
| February 6 2005 | My humble abode. |
| February 6 2005 | I couldn't act natural for this one. "Smile!" I look pretty ridiculous all bundled up. |
| February 6 2005 | The area I was walking through... Very beautiful. |
| February 6 2005 | My sweet camping spot. I had to hike up the side of the valley to get to the tunnel. It's caved-in, and the railway that went through it has been long abandoned and over grown, making it unusable. |
| February 5 2005 | I'm trying to look like I didn't know the picture was being taken... but since I'm the only one out there taking pictures, it's a little hard to act natural.��Note: Check out the snow/ice on my "beard"... I'm stoked on it! |
| February 5 2005 | I got to walk through this pretty cool abandoned tunnel. When I first saw it, it looked so gothic and out of place... it was chilling... or was that the cold weather? |
| February 4 2005 | It didn't take long to hit the snow line. It wasn't that bad at the begining... just a little snow to crunch under the feet. |
| February 4 2005 | The snow line was very definite. I was hoping the sun would melt it away forever... alas... nature doesn't work that fast. |
| February 4 2005 | My Dad hiked with me along the trail for a few days. It was so great having the company. |
| February 4 2005 | One of the Othello Canyon tunnels. My Dad and I slept a night in the opening of this mighty hole in the canyon wall. |
| January 24 2005 | At first, I though there was a bunch of foam drifting down the Fraser River, but on closer inspection, I discovered that there was actually tonnes of snow being pushed down the river. It looked quite beautiful. |
| January 24 2005 | The sunset over the western hills. I think this is the first time on this trip I've seen the sun go down. |
| January 24 2005 | I've been seeing these and similar signs on farm land. I have no idea what Bio Security is, but it sounds serious. |
| January 23 2005 | All the rain we've been having did some flooding. This is a small playground a few feet under water. |
| January 23 2005 | A funny looking guy. |
| January 23 2005 | Some "wild life" along the trail. |
| January 20 2005 | Vernon, BC needs one of these bad boys. |

| January 8 2005 | Some fresh snow on the trees. |
| January 8 2005 | A snowy road leading out of town. Finally some blue skies. |
| January 9 2005 | My saviours in Chemainus. |
| January 6 2005 | The reason the Kinsol Trestle is closed. |
| January 6 2005 | The mighty Kinsol Trestle. I was wondering when I was going to finally see it, and then there it was� peeking through the trees. |
| January 6 2005 | Another cold and snowy looking path. |
| January 6 2005 | Me.. quite happy. |
| January 6 2005 | My bypass route sign. It�s always nice to know you are on the right path. |
| January 6 2005 | My boot and my walking poles. If I hear �where are your skis�, or �how�s the skiing� any more, I�m going to puke. |
| January 6 2005 | The park sign at Koksilah River Provincial Park. This was the route I took to get around the Kinsol Trestle. |
| January 5 2005 | My cold and snowy path: An abandoned rail bed. |
| January 5 2005 | This sight reminded me that I have a camera... It became my first photo during my walk. A dead deer along the side of the highway, yet to be disturbed. |
| January 4 2005 | Adam (first person to walk with me) joined me on the first day as I set off from a beach at the west coast of Victoria. |
