-=> Quoting Steven Horn to Jim Weller <=-

 JW> The Fort Liard highway running from Fort Simpson NWT to Fort Nelson

 SH> I should go.  I've always wanted to see the Nahanni region.

The road skirts the southern edge of the region. The truly dramatic
scenery can only be seen by hikers, canoeists and the rich who charter
helicopter flights. And as a world heritage site, admittance is severely
restricted.

I had the opportunity once to canoe the entire river with a National
Film Board crew but turned it down for lack of funds. (I had just
graduated from college and my employer wouldn't give me a 6 week unpaid
leave of absence - we were building a pipeline, were short staffed and
behind schedule.) I've always regretted not doing it though.




Cheers

Jim, in Yellowknife
