Sevareid-Inspired Pair Complete Trip
17 Jun
Taking only half the time it took Eric Sevareid and Walter Port in 1930, Minnesota teenagers Sean Bloomfield and Colton Witte have completed their canoe trip from their hometown of Chaska to York Factory on Hudson’s Bay.
The duo paddled onto Hudson’s Bay on Sunday, 49 days after starting their epic 2,250 mile trip. Sevareid and Port took 98 days to complete the trip which Sevareid then immortalized with his book Canoeing with the Cree.
The Minneapolis Star Tribune’s Nick Coleman, who has eagerly followed the Chaska pair’s trip, wrote THIS wrap-up story in today’s paper.
More details on the trip are available HERE on the trip’s official web site.
