Ted Parker is a great friend, canoeing buddy and all-around nice guy.

His website is mainly about canoe tripping in places like La Vérendrye Reserve, the Thelon, Wind, Bloodvein Rivers, the Everglades, winter camping, and the gear needed to enjoy it all.

After Ted retired from Foreign Affairs, he decided that life is all about the journey and not about the destination. In the process of making his journey as interesting and fulfilling as possible, he came to the conclusion that Steve McQueen was right when he said that: "I would rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth." Since the best "middle of nowhere" is the shield country and tundra of Canada, Ted has decided to spend the rest of his life canoe-tripping and winter camping as much as he possibly can.

These pages are his attempts to record some of this special time.
