This is my first time launching a canoe into the Red River Basin! I am very excited and I have big dreams for my canoe. I launched my canoe in the Red River in Fargo, ND. It may not be the sturdiest canoe, but I have faith it can make it all the way into Canada; hopefully to the Lockport Dam. I want it to reach here because I think the dam is very cool, and I would love to go there myself and visit the dam to go fishing for Catfish. I hope it interacts with all kinds of different fish and wildlife along its way to Canada. I hope it runs into a beaver, and maybe he can use to help him build a dam. And then one day it breaks free and makes its way back into the river. Maybe a baby duck can hop on and ride in the canoe for a little while this spring. During the potential flood this spring, it may get stranded in a field or ditch on its journey. During that time, it can have the opportunity to dry out and heal a little bit before it returns to the river. I hope several people find my canoe and help it along the way. I hope maybe one day I can see my canoe in Grand Forks when I am driving over, or in Emerson sampling the river, or even better, at Lockport Dam while I am fishing!
