Congrats to all of those couples that paddle together!  My husband took me for the first time six years ago.  We had been married for less than a year.  I knew when I met him that Quetico was one of his most treasured areas.  Although I had never camped before, I was eager to see what this place was all about.  I fell in love!  Not only with Quetico, but deeper in love with my husband if that were truly possible.  I admired his determination and his ability to take me under his wing.  He showed me country that I had never seen before, wildlife that I had never experienced, and even taught me the correct way to use the bathroom in the woods.  If that isn't true love, I don't know what is!  We have been back to Quetico every year since 2000.  Sometimes with groups, but usually one for just the two of us and then another with friends or family.  I value that alone time with him!  I couldn't ask for a better partner in a canoe or in life for that matter.  If anyone is headed up to Quetico June 11-16, look for us.  We'll be the couple that not only loves Quetico, but each other tremendously.
