Trip Introduction:
My son and I were reliving the times when we took various canoe expeditions back when he was still in high school. While I have since been back up here several times with other canoe partners, our last trip here together was at the end of his senior year, just weeks before he was to head out to Marine Corp bootcamp. This trip changed that.
