My canoes name is Dante. I have many hopes and dreams for my canoe once I launch it into the Red River spring 2025. I hope it will someday reach Ontario Canada by way of Hudson Bay. I hope my canoe gets to experience the thrill of embarking on an epic journey from North Dakota to the distant shores of Ontario.
When I launch Dante into the Red River from Fargo I hope it will experience a relaxing ride. Along the way I hope for Dante to see an oak tree while traveling along the Oak Grove football field. Next I hope my canoe gets to see a sugar beet farm. Later on as it passes Marshall County I hope Dante gets a chance to see a big mouth buffalo and a bullfish. After winter I dream for my canoe to experience an otter swimming gracefully downstream with him. Two weeks later I hope Dante gets to see a great blue heron fishing on the banks. By the next Spring I wish for Dante to see a canola plant. While passing Norman County I hope my canoe gets to experience a two spotted bumble bee buzzing through the warm and fresh spring air. As summer is sadly coming to an end I hope my canoe sees a willow tree in Emerson. Then within 1 more week I hope it reaches Pembina county. Soon after Dante has made his way through Canada I hope he gets to see a pod of dolphins doing tricks through the air while catching fish with their mouths. By next fall I hope my canoe passes Winnipeg. Then within 6 months as it reaches Lake Winnipeg I hope it gets to see a forest of American elm. 4 days later still traveling through Lake Winnipeg I wish for him to experience seeing a halibut swimming under him. Not long after Dante will see the halibut he will reach Lake Winnipeg. By 2028 Dante will see a gaggle of snow geese flocked by the banks of the Nelson River. Eventually by early spring 2029 I hope Dante gets to experience the beauty of beluga whales basking in the thrilling spring sun. Soon after that I hope my canoe reaches Hudson bay. From Hudson Bay I hope that my canoe travels down the Severn River. I hope that when my canoe is traveling down the Severn River it reaches where I dreamed for it to go Ontario. While in Ontario I hope for my canoe to see the CN tower. This is my dream for my canoe.
