My name is Asher and I started my journey with a splash at the Clearwater Dam by Clearbrook-Gonvick, Minnesota. I saw many things such as ships as big as the Titanic, and huge waterfalls, but the scariest experience I had was my first time being found by some one. I was new, but she commented on my paint which was nice and clean. In fact I have flowers on my sides and the bottom has the places IՉve been. I have ran into a fire, it was sad, all the trees were burned to nubs. The animals had no home anymore. The weather stopped me on one really dark night. The waves crashed up one shore leaving me stuck in the sand. Later a dog came up to me. Her shiny name tag read Չ IndieՉ she picked me out of the sand and bolted up the shore with me in her jaws. A girl said ՉCome Mama.Չ They talked for awhile then the girl picked me up and threw me back in the water. I reached Hudson Bay that summer and lived happily ever after.
