My canoes name is Rocky. I have many hopes and dreams for my canoe once I launch it. I hope someday it will go to Dubai. When I launch Rocky into the Red River I hope it will enjoy a sunny warm day in May. Hopefully it can travel along the beautiful banks of the Red as it passes the Oak Grove football field. My canoe will start in Fargo and on its way it will see many things. On its first days it will come across raccoons fighting for a little sandwich. For the rest of the week he will not see much. The week after that I hope Rocky will come across a school of carp swimming in circles then maybe they will bump him a couple of times and splash him. A couple days later I hope Rocky will see another school of fish this time northern pikes. I hope he will see them swimming up and down the riverbank. One week will have gone by and Rocky wont see anything until the next week. He will see skunks looking at him on the riverbank. Two months will have gone by since Rocky was launched. By then it will be around the start of August. This week will be pretty slow for Rocky the river will be pretty slow and I think Rocky will not move much. Rocky will slowly creep up on Trial County as he comes upon a crop An amazing sugar beet Because it is now fall I hope he will see farmers tending to the beets. The next stop will be Grand Forks. When passing through Grand Forks I hope he will probably not come upon much just some birds. By now It will be the middle of October and he will eventually feel the cold crisp in the air. After a few months he will slowly come upon Walsh County where he will park for the winter. Rocky will get stuck on the riverbank of Walsh for all of winter. Christmas will be just a week away. When Christmas comes there will hopefully be one little family that will come on to the river and start to ice fish. The family will be out there for the whole weekend. After that there will be no activity until spring. When spring came there would hopefully be life kids were back out and Rocky will be back on his way. It should be early March and so beautiful out. I think that the first couple weeks he will not see much as it will still be a little cold. It should now be early June and the flowers will be blooming as well as the trees. He will see many trees such as maple trees and many more. A few months will have gone by and he will start to get close to the border. Then there will be in a split second a bald eagle will fly down to the river and pick him up and drop him down on the other side. When he is back in the river he will see Emerson Canada. A couple weeks will go by and he will come upon a big cottonwood tree. When he drives by he will see little pieces of cotton dropping down in the river and a couple land on him and will tickle him. A few months will have gone by and it will be the middle of October 2026. He will come upon a bear jumping up at a tree to get a bee's nest. The tree will be too tall so the bear will never get the honey but Rocky will have a good laugh. Couple weeks later Rocky will come upon more northern pikes he will see them this time swimming up and down the stream and they will be splashing and bumping into Rocky. Few more weeks will go by when Rocky comes upon a big pack of deer and he will see them jumping and running around the hills in the forest. The next stop on the list for Rocky will be Winnipeg Canada. In the city of Winnipeg he will see many trees and big buildings in the city. A couple weeks later Rocky will take the Nelson River up to Lake Winnipeg by Lake Winnipeg he will see channel catfish and a bunch of ducks. It will now be the middle of summer. Then suddenly it will become winter again. I hope it feel like it went by so quickly for Rocky. He will have so much fun on his adventure up to Lake Winnipeg but he will know it wasn't over. It will be winter again so that meant that Rocky was frozen in another piece of ice on the shore of Lake Winnipeg. So Rocky will go to sleep until spring. Spring will come along fast. It will be already the middle of May and the water will be fully open for Rocky to get his adventure up and going again. Rocky will sit in the middle of Lake Winnipeg for a couple of months he will slowly make some progress and start making it back to the Nelson River to get up to Hudson Bay. A few months will have gone by flowing up the Nelson River. He would slowly make it to Hudson Bay When Rocky gets to Hudson Bay he will some upon wood ducks bears and moose. Rocky learned that Hudson Bay was also known as the capital of moose in the world. When Rocky makes it up the Hudson Bay it will be mid August again and he sees deer running through the forest and more lake trout swimming in the bay. I hope Rocky goes down to the Labrador Sea and hopefully gets to the Atlantic Ocean. Rocky will finally be free he will make it out to the ocean. He will be out in the ocean for a couple of months. When suddenly there will be a big fishing boat that comes and scoops him up. He will not know where he will be going but he was on that boat for a very long time. He will be taken into the Mediterranean Sea where he will go down a canal that leads him to the Red Sea up through the gulf of Aden. Which will take him to the Gulf of Oman. Where he suddenly drifted to Dubai. It will take Rocky two years from when he got caught by the fisherman to Dubai. Rocky will make it to his final destination. So he could finally kick back and relax and watch the beautiful sunset in Dubai. That is my boat Rockies trip to Dubai.
