I started in spring in the Sand Hill River. 10 minutes later I saw a beautiful flower and a deer. I saw a couple of fish too. My name is Bob and I want to end in the Hudson Bay because that will bring me to the ocean. I saw some fireworks because it was the 4th of July Then I saw a huge deer a beaver and watched a tree fall over. Then I saw a stray dog. The leaves are now starting to fall. I am in the Red River and it is raining and windy. I have been through Grand Forks. I saw cars buildings bridges and many people. My journey has been scary. I got stuck 3 times but I have not seen anything new. Plus I have lost half of my color. I have been through some challenges. One time I got stuck on some fishing line that was not fun. I did see a beautiful butterfly in the sky which made me smile. I am still in the Red River and it is still winter. It has been a boring journey. I have not seen much and it has been so long. I just want to get to the Hudson Bay I have floated through many towns and Im now almost to Canada I saw a bear. . . He almost ate me whole but he chipped my paint off instead. I said How dare you bear you cant chip my paint off urg After that mean bear chipped my paint off I kept going. It is still winter and the river is ice. I could not move anymore. I thought it was over but thankfully a man grabbed me and put me in his hand. He said I will put you back when it is spring. He even moved me closer to the Hudson Bay. I am now 1 mile away and it is spring Slowly but surely I got into the Hudson Bay It took me about 2 and a half years phew
