Summer 2013: Paddling Around Lake Superior!
Superior Circumnavigation Trip Summary
Lindsey on September 20th at the entrance to Knife River- the original starting point of the trip around Superior. After 89 days and 1060 miles, she returned home thankful far beyond words. Luke was able to do about one third of the trip with her, providing a huge opportunity for her to go the rest of the way on her own.
Canadian Waters Expedition
August 6th, 2010: We Arrived at Hudson Bay
Lindsey and Luke Thanking all of the people who helped them achieve their goal and live the dream in 2010
Canadian Waters Expedition Trip Summary
On June 6th, 2010, Luke Olson and Lindsey Lee set out on the Rainy River from Fort Frances, Ontario for an over 1500 mile journey north to Hudson Bay, Canada. After 61days, they reached the bay at Churchill, Manitoba. What started out as a just another lengthy canoe trip, their “Dream of Hudson Bay” developed into a scientific research expedition. They became humble students of the Canadian bush, immersing themselves in the world of Sig Olson and canoeing the rivers of the French Voyageurs. At the same time, they became researchers, conducting a geochemical water quality study which sampled the lakes and rivers for human impact indicators. Upon their return, they continued the baseline water quality study and presented their results at the Geological Society of America's annual meeting in Logan, Utah May 2011.
Currently, they love the opportunity to share the trip with classrooms and the paddling community so if your organization or class would benefit from a presentation please contact us! We have presented at the university level, to paddle audiences and to gradeschool classes-we can tailor it your needs.
