Access To Remote Areas is Changing!

This video tracks the 2.5 km route we take back to the main road from our trapping cabin. Prior to that, over 100 kms of unmaintained road has to be driven.

The travel has been made easier a couple of years ago by a logging company building a temporary road in. This road is now slated for "reclaimation" this fall, so we wanted to make this record of its current state before it's gone.

The Alberta government has pursued an aggressive policy towards protecting the environment, so that means they want roads built into wild country to be removed once they are no longer needed for industry (even though trapping itself is an industry).

It appears the same thing is happening to seismic (cut) lines. Although certain protectionist groups may laud such efforts, I don't think it is pleasing the majority of people who actually need to get out into remote areas.

But, perhaps, that's a debate for another day. For us, today, it will mean more effort getting to the cabin and we're not getting any younger.
