Lower Albany - looking for more information, maps, shuttles, planes

I am looking for informatiuon re the Lower Albany.

the only  info i found sofar is a trip report from  1983

So far i learned to drive to Hearst, somehow do a shuttle/ bus ride to Cochrane.but don't feel comfortable leaving my gear just sitting around is not really an option in 2022
 

then over the kamikami river to Mammamattawa to the lower albany  to Fort albany

how is the lower Albany, flat, white water? 

i read that the airport in Fort Albany  is before you hit the delta of the Albany river - which could be confusiing

then I need info how to get from Fort Albany, to Moosomee, back to Cochrane or Hearst.

Lower Drowning River

Looking for info on tripping down the Drowning River below the juncture with the Wababimiga River. Is there any access points to enter or exit the lower Drowning? Do you have to go all the way to the mouth at the Kenogavi before you can get an air flite out? Any info would be appreciated. Thank you

Bonaventure 2022

I'm working on organising a trip to paddle the Bonaventure River in June 2022.

I understand that there were some major floods in Dec 2020 that made the logjams and sweepers a lot worse than than they used to be. Does anybody have any updated information on the state of the river? Has anybody paddled it in 2021? If so, I'd love to hear from you.

I would also be open to have a few additional people join the trip; contact me if you're interested (please note this is an advanced trip). I'll be posting an outing description in the next few weeks.
cheers,
rob

Best Chiniguchi area maps?

I’m going on a short 3-night trip in Southeastern Temagami next week but am having a hard time finding good maps for our route. Does anybody have a recommendation of what map(s) I should be looking for? The trip is from the Matagamasi Lake access (near Sudbury), as far North as Chiniguchi Lake and returning through Laura Lake. Thanks!

Budd car spots filling up

Yesterday I felt compelled to book my train tickets for my daughter and I to the Forks. The Budd car is only available on Saturdays so far and the first two weekends I chose were booked. Just wanted to mention this so anyone considering a trip on the Sudbury White Line doesn’t procrastinate.
Happily we ended up with tickets for the 24th of July, two canoe spots left. Our trip will be a low key family friendly trip if anyone is interested in periodic company.
