My canoes name is Shaniqua. I have many hopes and dreams for my canoe once I launch it. I hope it will someday reach India by way of Hudson Bay. When I launch Shaniqua into the Red River I hope it will enjoy all the cool animals on warm sunny days in May of 2025. Hopefully it can travel along the muddy wooded banks of the Red River as it passes Oak Grove football field. Along the way I hope he will see beautiful sunny summers and frosty winters on Fargo shores .I hope he will see the endless fields of wheat and corn in the country along with towering forests of oak trees as he glides past places in Minnesota and North Dakota and over into Canada. I hope he gets a good look at the tall border of Canada. I hope he will drift in water and will be in the center of the river where in spring he will begin his journey once more but get caught on a tree root.I hope he will see many animals like deer beavers and maybe even some moose. I hope one day after a long amount of time in the root he will get ran into by a pike and be set free to continue on his journey. I also hope he will see many beautiful trees in the spring at its greatest perk and I hope the tree it will see is a willow tree and its long lushes branches and leafs as it drifts into Lake Winnipeg. I hope as he sees the real beauty of nature but also the hard parts of it like in winter with the chilling air and survival of the fittest. I hope once he reaches Lake Winnipeg that he will know he is almost there after traveling for so long just to be halfway to Hutson Bay and from there on to India. I hope it will drift down the river for a long time and after many seasons he will make another milestone to the Nelson river. I hope after many seasons he will have made it the mouth of Hudson Bay and a huge walleye swallows my canoe and swims with it in his mouth for a good 10 minutes and is eventually spat out much farther than his starting point.I hope he continues to go on and finds himself four seasons later at the nose of a sea lion and getting chewed and thrown around and eventually realizes he has finally made it to the Atlantic ocean barely 2 feet away from Hudson Bay. I hope as he continues on that he will see an eagle or maybe a hawk. I hope as he continues that he will see many fish like pike walleye or maybe a shark. I hope as the days turn into weeks and the weeks turn into months that he might see countries far along the way like South Africa or maybe even Madagascar. I hope many years later when my cano finally makes it to India that he will be seen put into the website and sent back out on his next adventure. Thank you for reading my dream for my canoe dream.
