The Lonely Land

"We traveled as the Voyageurs did by canoe, paddled the same lakes, ran the same rapids, and packed over their ancient portages. We knew the winds and storms, saw the same sky lines, and felt the awe and wonderment that was theirs as the enormous expanses and grandeur of a land that was once as strange and challenging to them as to us."

just the fact that you quoted the "Bourgeois" in the caption of the photo is impressive in and of itself. not that the photo doesn't stand alone, it's gorgeous. can't wait to get my canoe out.
