My name is Hw and he is a canoe made up of wood bark. His life started when his owner first let him go on May 21 2025 in Fargo ND on the Red River. I hope he knows that this would be a tough journey but Hw would see lots of nature. After Hw starts floating I think Hw will be met with a bald eagle which will scare Hw to death. But I dont think Hw is scared so I hope Hw turn on the jets and get out of his sight and his journey keeps flowing. Then after a while of boredom I hope Hw turns a corner and sees a full flock of at least 150 geese sitting on one lilypad. So I hope he gets some company. I hope he wants to veer over and see all the geese. I hope they dont like him because they're kind of ugly so I hope they fly away quickly. I hope Hw locks in and doesnt let nothing stop him but right away I hope next he will be met with Grand Forks County and lots of sugar beet fields which I hope are his favorite. I hope when Hw flows into big places he gets scared so Grand Forks was a no go and I hope he's ok even knowing what struck him but hes in Walsh County so hes back on the fun journey. But the next 3 or so hours were quick because I hope Hw sleeps well and gets distracted the whole time due to the nice chokecherry trees which smelled nice nice nice But because of that he now knew that he was close to the border of the US and Canada and soon enough he saw Kittson County a nice place with lots of fields and animals. Hw was met with a huge White tailed buck and packs of moose and caribou licking the water that he needed to float with so they were not his favorite but once again Hw went up and they started running as fast as him but stopped due to a literal full forest of ash trees. But there were only 2 so you could say Hw was imagining things probably because he was tired so he fell asleep while floating. Two days later he found himself floating through Winnipeg with a weird looking canadian beaver right by his side. After that I hope his trip changes because I hope when hes floating in Lockport Dam and I hope he sees something that looks like him. It was another boat which was stuck in the weeds so I hope Hw went over and started hitting it so that's why I hope Hw has a crack in his rudder. So I hope they float together and make it into Lake Winnipeg going by lots of animals like a school of little newborn walleye and a single muskrat so I hope they were enjoying life and then get attacked by some catfish and perch and Hw sacrificed himself so JJ got through the dam and continued his journey and when Hw sees him last I hope Hw sees a bear going by like nothing happened but at the end I hope Hw never finds his way out of Lake Winnipeg and keeps his journey liven.
