John,
This past summer, three other young women and I embarked on an expedition, paddling 1,380 miles over the course of 80 days. Our trip began in the Boundary Waters, tracing the border route with our canoes, following the watersheds from east to west.
The vibrant natural beauty we witnessed could only be described as remarkable. We saw its highest peaks and deepest waters. We had the privilege of meeting complex, resilient people in the most remote parts of the region. We, the Hudson Bay Girls, grew and learned and endured—immersed in a world currently untouched but by nature itself.
