My hopes for my canoe is that it makes it out of the Midwest. I hope this so that it can go on a journey of more than a flat plain with pine trees. I want it to see more than some fish and maybe some deer. I want it to see the world and have encounters with animals we in the Midwest have never seen. I hope it can go far. Also I hope that a squirrel hops on my canoe and catches a ride and gets to experience an epic journey.
