Hi my name is River. I started my journey on the Tongue River at Icelandic State Park. I got set off by a girl in 5th grade at Cavalier Public School. After a couple of hours I saw a River Otter. It had the same name as me.The first plant I saw on the Pembina River was some cattails. I got stuck in the cattails upside. down.I finally got free by a snapping turtle. I thought he was going to eat me. The first town I got to see was Cavalier. After a while I got to see Pembina. On the Red River I saw many Cottonwood trees and Quaking Aspen trees. It was a long trip but I finally reached Canada. I went through Winnipeg and there were a lot of people there. When I reached Lake Winnipeg I thought Winnipeg was bigger. I got to see a lot of walleye.In Lake Winnipeg I got caught by a beaver and got put in his dam. I snuck out because I was small.I got to see a human. I thought he was going to pick me up.Then I went on the Nelson River and there wasn't really anything around me. I felt like I had the whole river to myself. Up ahead I saw another little canoe. Her name was Journey. We traveled a long way together.Then Journey got picked up but not me. I got away safely. I finally made it to Hudson Bay. It was so big I thought I was going to faint. I also thought it was bigger than Lake Winnipeg.
