Im sure most of already know Gord is/was a big wilderness canoeist and wrote about it in several songs (Whispers of the North, Home from the Forest, etc etc)
There are 2 photos of Gord and friends trying to retreive Gords canary yellow Old Town canoe which is wrapped around a big rock in the river. The photos are in Cliff Jacobsons book entitled "Expedition Canoeing". Beleive it or not, but they were able to get the canoe out and then pound out all the dents back to its original shape. If they had not, they would have...as Gord put it.."we would have been screwed"!
