Lindsay: A Serious Fossil Expedition
Former US Ski team nordic member, an early female member of The Ski To Die Club, and NCS Spanish teacher and ski coach - Lindsay - hangs it out there on a deep wilderness paddling trip this summer. Her and her husband were in the back-of-beyond in Quebec, on the Portneuf River. I'll quote from a recent email, "Here are a couple of photos of old fossils doing the expedition of their lives. We are smiling because it isn't pouring buckets of rain (hence, the ability to photograph) and we aren't dead yet. It isn't really climbing, but we did spend time lowering the raft over 20 foot cliffs and tieing the tent in at night so it wouldn't get washed into the rapids. ( Had to move it one night when the river rose and was lapping at the door). Also, bouldering along the edge of the river for kilometers on end, with 200 pounds of gear. No photos as our hands were too busy. But here we are."
