Even if you do not want to watch the full hour take time to watch the first through minutes. The gear for the trip is awesome.

A video of a canoe trip on the Thelon River.
At 6 minutes 20 seconds you get to see an awesome caribou herd. Quote:

So wonderful to watch as this journey unfolds.
The video is of the tremendous number of bugs, like rainfall. Quote:
‪The Thelon Expedition: What Really Bugs Sanjayan‬‏ - YouTube The pictures of moose are great. Do you think the paw print is a grizzly? http://www.flickr.com//photos/656318...08681865/show/ I will be checking for the updates each day. Shall we keep up with them together? I will add what I may here each time something interesting is added. Which is everything...lol. Have you seen those portable solar panels for the equipment. Awesome! |

Today is the August 4th, last day of the river trip on the Thelon. The details given after recovering will be interesting. I hope PBS or someone even Letterman interviews Sanjayan soon.

After several days of storms kept them off the river The Thelon expedition finally reached the Thelon Game Sanctuary. PBS was able to reach them for an update.
I think the group have since reached destination and are headed home. Thelon River Explorers Check in from the Campground | The Rundown News Blog | PBS NewsHour | PBS SCIENCE -- August 9, 2011 at 11:34 AM EDT Thelon River Explorers Check in from the Campground By: Jenny Marder |

This is one of those BAD... in a nice way.... threads!!! 3 or 4 times now I've logged on and got to following this thread and never posted because of it. I keep getting hung up following what's happening!!! I am not clicking on ANY of your links today GLORIA!!!
-- That photo of the moose getting out of the water is the best!!! -- Speaking of gear.... for anyone drowning in the midwest getting sucked dry by skeeters flying in formation over their heads.... here's a link to the style of bug jacket they wear, The Original Bug Shirt. I've tried them all.... the cheap Chinese products are basically worthless. The original works but you'll still get bit around the wrists. The new elite is better because it's been redesigned. I tried one on.... I didn't want to take it off but... it wasn't mine. The elite's got a pouch in front which is great if you've always got a camera around your neck. I'd like to buy the new bug jacket someday.
