Anyone know any good remote spots in Canada to arrange collection of a trunk.

Sgt John Guy is delivering a trunk of money stolen from Saddam to Canada for me to transport to the States and bank for him.

What I really need is a good remote town with no public transport and a good 6 hour drive from the nearest airport. Dont wanna make things too easy for him.

Also somewhere with lots of snow and ice would be a bonus Twisted Evil

I recommend Alert, Nunavut.

Alert could be nice, but Atikokan is just the start of your lad's canoe adventure.

There's a small regional airport, but it really is for chartered amphibians to take you lad and his canoe to a remote lake in the area.

@Homer:
Alert is indeed cold and remote, but well-populated with English-speaking military personnel who might be overly helpful to the lad.
Why not consider one of the fourteen miniscule communities in Nunavik, which is the northern 3rd of the province of Quebec? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nunavik
It is remote. Very, very remote. No roads connect Nunavik with southern Quebec. However if your lad is fluent in the Inuktitut language, he ought to be able to make arrangements easily enough. Laughing

hi wtcoth^^

The Lads do indeed have Canadian connections in Montreal, Toronto, Ottawa, and presumably Vancouver as well.

Six Canadian locales they will never meet you at--they hate cold weather--

1--Yellowknife, NWT.--Territorial capital. Mosquitoes the size of Buicks.

2--Churchill, Manitoba--Polar Bear capital of the world. You can always blame the bears for chewing on the phone wires/bad connections..

3--Whitehorse, YT. Territorial capital. --the new diamond capital outside Africa and Arkansas. Go to www.polarbeardiamond.com . W. African rascals always perk up at the mention of diamonds.

4--Iqaluit, Nunavut..Provincial capital. A land mass way bigger than Texas with about 30 miles of paved roads. Polar Bear heaven. That polar bear cub 'Knut' in western Europe is all the rage now--wait until he gets bigger and hungrier in a year or so.

5--Anywhere in Labrador.

6--The Queen Charlotte Islands in BC, or Prince Rupert BC...

Getting to any locale mentioned above by me is a major undertaking to begin with.

Hope this helped.

I'd say send him to an area that is at the risk of being destroyed by our usual forest fire problem, but it's a little too early in the year for lots of those.

Im sending him to Atikokan, hopefully I can find a nice remote spot only accessible by canoe to do the handover.

Anyone know what cell coverage is like around that area?

Yea, Atikokan! Most outfitters carry Sat phones. Arrangements with bush pilots are scheduled. Expect a pick up at this bay on this lake on Friday.

If you only want the lad to suffer, don't make him fly in, have him portage over a few lakes. A few Km's with a canoe on his head and his gear on his back are harder than hundreds of Km's in a bus.
