1st Canoe Trip

It was the summer of 2020. About two months after becoming a single and solo parent, my oldest son and I were invited on a cano trip down the Wisconsin River. I was familiar with the river growing up in a fishing boat and splashing on the sandbars. What I wasn’t familiar with was a canoe and a boat motor.

Tim is my neighbor and an adventurer. He set up two canoes for us to go down river in. G and I had never been in a canoe. We did a lot of car camping and this was something new and seemed exciting.

We didn’t have dry bags and a lot of gear was packed in garbage bags. We jumped in and I had a quick lesson about the boat motor and we were off.
