    Did this trip in August 1976. The road has not changed, but it looks like Telegraph Creek has lost some of the buildings. There were a lot of old timers still living there. You do amazing work with the drone, photography and narration. We had two boats: my C-1 and my friend's 17 foot Grumman. Terry Johnson wrote an article of our trip down the Stikine for BC Outdoors magazine and I was on the cover!

Huddy will be into everything soon enough, that's obvious. Loving this journey, cos back in 2000 I was up there too. Be well Baird's YYYEEEAAAAHHH!!!

I never thought I would think a trip with your kids would be my favorite adventure...I'm sure I am not the the only person that is really enjoying watching Wesley and Huddy develop a little more with almost each video. Oh yeah, and Huddy is a total ham. Pretty sure he wanted to play air guitar with that paddle! Love watching your family as much as almost anything I do for recreation. Big props to you and Tori! VERY. VERY IMPRESSED!!!

    I found out my husband was afraid of heights on our honeymoon. He was white knuckling the ski lift. Needless to say we never did that again. I grew up in TO, going to Collingwood every weekend in the winter and Lake Simcoe, Algonquin and Baysville in the summer, so lots of both types of skiing. Great vids Jim and Tori, tysm!

    Having been enjoying this series of episodes. It gets better and better. Was very amused by the explanation by Tori of why she wants to drive - “I prefer to be in control. And I am not sure how focus is Jim when he tell his stories while driving”And Huddy was absolutely hilarious when he helped by throwing the paddles into the canoe😂

    I've been down that road, and it's scary. The road is in a lot better condition and wider then when we were their and the Bailey bridges. More scary when we met transport trucks .wow . Still a beautiful area , like Tori I'm afraid of heights. Not fun and coming out was tense .I never got a good feeling in Telegraph it was eerie, past life bad experience. The boys are having a great time 😊. Can't wait for the next video awesome country in Northern BC .

  • @Judy-fi7ce
    @Judy-fi7ce Před 8 měsíci

    My favorite part - Huddy loading the paddles into the canoe and playing his paddle like a guitar, and Huddy playing the harmonica. Wow Telegraph Rd was scary, but beautiful scenery. Telegraph Creek sure is a historical town. Wesley is a joy with his cute smile. Yes, your canoe will be packed out with stuff. Reminds me of going camping when my kids were little. We loaded everything but the kitchen sink into the car. Great video Jim and Tory. Really enjoying your adventure.

    I did the Lower Stikine 3 times in the 90s. My friend and me just gathered 12 to 14 people from Germany (Baptist Church) and led them down to Wrangell. In fact 2 times of this we did it from Tuaton Lake to Wrangell, over 500km in less than 3 weeks. It was always great. This was the time when Dan Pecula run the Riversong café, he was also installing all the internet stuff in the village. One time we took the canoes with us from Wrangell to Skagway afterwards, one time they were retrieved by Dan himself. Absolutely amazing trip. Jim Baird is super crazy to do the trip with family including handicapped, but he knows it. Well if he did it that way, anybody can do it. But it is still a dangerous trip where you can fall in at several points. Especially the Great Glacier is an experience for lifetime (if it is still there). And crossing the delta to Wrangell should rellay be started half an hour bofore high tide, yes!
