Having the proper tools makes all the difference in the world.  Fairly cliché, but oh, so true.

I need to take some pictures before I proceed with the renovation story, so here is this in the meantime.

Gwaii Haanas, Fundy, Mount Revelstoke, Mingan Archipelago (which sounds like something out of Star Wars) or Kouchibouguac.

I think Nahanni is a very nice name.
