[meta] ideas on how to pull in stories

As neither facebook or instagram has proper API endpoints for the client side this needs to be done server side.

Maybe Graph API

There are 4 rivers that join Peel River and the Peel River Watershed. It's possible to take any of those 4 then join Peel River and go either up to Fort McPherson to exit, or resupply and continue on to Inuvik or even Tuktoyaktuk and the Arctic Ocean.

Snake River Class 1-2, occasional 3 (300km to Taco Bar)
Bonnet Plume Class 2-3, occasional 4-5 (probably around 350-400km to Taco Bar)
Wind River Class 1-2 no whitewater (200km to Taco Bar)
Hart River Class 1-2, occasional 3 (probably around 350km to Taco Bar, a lot on Peel River)

Peel River from Taco Bar (common exit point so easier to calculate distance) to Fort McPherson: 320km

Seems Peel River is mostly muddy and considering Wind River is probably boring for you, that means the best options are Snake River or Bonnet Plume. To me class 2-3 with occasional 4-5 sounds scary as shit. Read a trip report where someone flipped their canoe on day 2, meaning there's no easing in to it either. Snake River sounds pleasant hehe.
