Ely, MN Couple Paddled to New Home in Maine
31 May
A former Minnesota couple is making waves for the unique way they moved from Ely, MN to Belfast, ME last year: by canoe. The former Outward Bound instructors paddled four and a half months to reach their new home, skirting the northern edges of the Great Lakes, paddling across New York and then following the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. We liked writer Abigail Curtis’ story about their trek in the Bangor Daily News (you can read it HERE)–she writes about their challenges and adventures along the way, including border crossings and hurricane weather. Her vivid storytelling shows that canoes are more than an historic way to travel–they can even play their part in a modern day love story. (Photo Courtesy Bangor Daily News)
