Missing man in Algonquin

[NAW]

A father and son went on a "4 day" canoe trip. They got messed up somehow on the way. So the father set up camp, and the son went off to try to find a road. They found the father, but havn't been able to find the son.

 

The article maps out the route they where planning on taking. I don't know the area, but it sure seems like a lot of ground/water to cover in 4 days!

FOUND :clapping:

 

thats great news.

[fish-miester]

Good news! now I want to go camping..

[lunkerbasshunter]

that is great that they found them both safe and sound. But are you not suppose to stick together when you are lost? 2 people better to fight off the things that go bump in the night then 1 right?

 

Cheers!

with the amount of roads in algoqin park i am suprised he did not find a road sooner . there are roads to nearly ever lake they stop about 1/4 mile away from most lakes

well if he was walking straight im sure he would of found one.. but im assuming that was not the case and he was trying to peel out of the bush. which almost got him in more trouble.. why didnt they just stick together?

[chessy]

just glad he is safe

This is great news. I always carry my trusty GPS with plenty of spare batteries, but even still you can't rely on it. Many times I have been unable to find a reliable signal, and this is in cottage country. Better yet still, never split up. There is power in numbers.

Would 3 columns of smoke have helped [if he thought he was lost ]

A good map, a compass, and experience (which it sounds like they had), and it's pretty hard to get lost. Crap happens though.

Nice to have a story end on the good side!
