“Everyone must believe in something. I believe I’ll go canoeing.”
–Henry David Thoreau (July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862) American author, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist
“The age of the canoe is not gone; it’s just different. The canoe is no longer a vehicle of trade and commerce. Instead, it has become a means of venturing back into what is left of the natural world. It’s true there isn’t much left to be discovered, but there is much to be rediscovered about the land, about the creatures who live there, and about ourselves. Where do we come from and where are we going? There is no better place and no better way to follow this quest into the realm of spirit than along the lakes and rivers of the North American wilderness in a canoe.” –Bill Mason (1929 – October 29, 1988) Canadian naturalist, author, artist, filmmaker, and conservationist
