Title: York Factory obtained
Post by wally on Aug 24^th, 2005 at 5:02am

The two young men paddling from Twin Cites area to Hudson's bay obtained success on 8/20/05. A fantastic story is to be read in their journal entries.

Astounding feat of endurance and will power.

I can't wait to meet them at some canoe seminar somewhere.

They weren't the only ones travelling to Hudson's Bay this year.

I congratulate everyone who makes this sort of trip. They will have memories guaranteed for a lifetime.

Do a Google search and you'll find many who've done it and wrote about it.

Hudsonbayboys had a neat trip too. Their website skills left some to be desired, but was a fun read. I think this group was a "threesome" correct? A tandem and solo boat making the whole trip....from the Grand Portage I believe.

That's correct. It was a group of three, who had met while working at Northern Tier. I knew all of them, and they would be a fun bunch to take on any trip. They went from the Grand Portage.
