My canoe is going to travel upstream the very river I grew up beside. Living in Fargo my whole life, I have heard so much of the Red River, and this is kind of a full-circle experience where now my canoe gets to see the entirety of the Red north of me. I hope it sees all of the wild life and creatures that exist along the way. Polar bears, muskrats, catfish, and all the others that exist. I hope it is allowed to be picked up by a couple travelers who notice its green and red exterior, and see the markings that represent me. I hope the quote I placed on the bottom resonates with them, and they are moved in some way just as I was 3 years ago. Overall, I hope my canoe is eventually able to reach the shores of the Hudson, and experience what I also have wanted to do, which is to travel to new places.
