If I recall correctly, there was a concern about too much white water in the spring, which may have delayed their departure, but it still surprised me where they were in December.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It's mindboggling to think what these guys would attempt in a world filled with the crazy innovations in camping and boating gear today. All of this is without Gortex and Velcro. Ooph!
High winds are a bear anytime of year in a canoe. I always paddled the bow, which required power while my husband steered in the stern. It was harder on me than on him in wind!
Thank you for bringing George and William’s story to life with such care. I’m already looking forward to the next installment, and to seeing how the Mississippi continues to shape their incredible voyage.

What an adventure! I am pleased they found a little respite aboard the Richmond before continuing on.

Thrilling icy scene and vivid details of their river journey.
