A friend just posted this on Facebook and o thought I’d share with you paddlers.
“Today’s National Canoe Day. Here a quote from one of Minnesota’s famous northwoods writers, Sigurd F. Olson.
“There is magic in the feel of a paddle and the movement of a canoe, a magic compounded of distance, adventure, solitude, and peace. The way of a canoe is the way of the wilderness and of a freedom almost forgotten. It is an antidote to insecurity, the open door to waterways of ages past and a way of life with profound and abiding satisfactions. When a man is part of his canoe, he is part of all that canoes have ever known.”
