In April, 1962 five of us took a four day canoe trip across the Avalon Penninsula, starting from Brigus Junction and coming out at Colinet. In the group were Al Brennan, Joe Lowe, Bill Whiffen, Dave Quinton and John Munro. We paddled, portaged and walked our canoes over the beautiful Avalon lakes, rivers and trails . We enjoyed warm spring weather for the first 3 days, but the last day it was raining and windy. We were wet, cold and tired after running the Colinet river that last day.
Most of these photos were taken by Joe Lowe, who was Director of Forest INventory with the Newfoundland Forest Service in the 1960’s

Hi John! What a wonderful surprise to see this! My sister Nancy found it and sent me the link. Those photos are priceless! I actually have some of dad’s old films from that trip (or one of the trips). I will try to find them and can send to you – or post the video. Are you on facebook? Today is the anniversary of mom and dad’s marriage – 48 years ago. So sad that they are both gone now. Hope you are well. Warm regards, Colleen (Brennan)
