No kidding. I feel a little inadequate around them. A couple of years ago they canoed the entire Amazon river!

Now that will be an impressive feat!

...but I think at that point, I'd shoot for heading back up the mississippi and taking the Lewis & Clark Route back home. (but then again mississippi flows north to south IIRC... don't think I'd like to attempt that!)

Home for them is along Lake Superior here in Minnesota. (Although, at this point home is wherever they are camped.)

Dave has canoed down the Mississippi, don't give him any ideas about the Lewis and Clark Route.

Holy Cow that's a sweet route!! Some day I might have to follow in their foot steps

Are they members on the forum? It would be cool if they kept up on here like Ara does

Very cool trip. I notice looking on the above map, that they ate taking the old French fur trader/voyager route on much of the trip. Verlin Kruger has done so many amazing trips, but I don't recall him ever tracing that route. Makes my dream of kayaking around Lake Superior seem trivial!

Respect.

Is a canoe technically "vehicle dependent?"

Try swimming that route and you'll know that canoe is a vehicle:REExeSwimmingHL:

While Pat has an interesting point, the answer is no. I just thought people here might enjoy following their trip around North America.

We do have a "kayaking, canoeing" sub-forum. :ylsmoke:

Actually, I do consider it a vehicle. Same way a bicycle is. It's just not a *motorized* vehicle.
