"Sometimes a great adventure lands in your lap."
"...everything that happens, good or bad, is a story. And life is just a string of stories that we collect, over time, and we might as well make them good ones."
This is a true adventure memoir about two women who are best friends and the two thousand mile canoe trip they take from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay the summer of 2011. What a journey!
I love these kinds of stories: the challenges and life-changing moments they experience, the humorous camping incidents, and the descriptions that immersed me in parts of the country, the rivers and surrounding wilderness I will never get to see in real life. Plus, there's a very cute dog in it that they adopt at Norway house in Canada, along with some moose and polar bear sightings. It's an interesting and fun read.
My rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Happy Reading!
