2016 was my first full year of retirement, so we can take the long exploring trips that we only dreamed about in earlier years. There were two goals on this trip, 1) to reach the north country of Saskatchewan and canoe on the Churchill River and 2) to thread our way home the entire length of the Rocky Mountains. This is a 
partial GPS track of our travels. Operator error erased the first 1000 miles from our home in Santa Fe, New Mexico
