Two
Moon Outpost Lodge is owned and operated by the Morin family.
Dave and Julie have a long history in the adventure travel and
outdoor marketplace, and a deep connection to the Lake Kipawa
area. For 18 years they have operated Missinaibi Headwaters Outfitters,
an industry leader in the Outdoor Adventure sector. Based near
Chapleau Ontario, their camp at Racine Lake would have up to 300
guests on site, as well as a number of groups out on guided and
self-guided canoe trips. The acquisition of Two Moon Lodge is
in many ways a step back in time for the Morin's, whose family
is originally from Temiskaming, Quebec, and Dave has spent his
youth at a cottage on Lake Temiskaming, and exploring the waters
of the Kipawa region. Dave and Julie look forward to slowing down
a little, and enjoying the hidden paradise of Kipawa.
Dave
Morin is the founding director of Missinaibi Headwaters Outfitters.
He is an ORCKA Moving Water canoe instructor, an avid angler,

some of Canada's most remote lakes and rivers. As a canoe trip
guide, Dave has led expeditions on 18,000 km of wilderness rivers.
In June 2006, Field and Stream Magazine featured Dave
in their article on the top guides in North America. Dave has
been featured on Discovery Channel and assisted the production
of the Canadian segment of the BBC production of Ray Mear's
Bushcraft, and Trailside for PBS. His wilderness

Magazines

chores falls squarely on their capable shoulders. |
