All of my canoe trips in the BW have been with my girlfriend(some day wife).  I think it's great that she goes along with me and she impresses me every day we're out there.  I push myself on our trips and she's right there with me.  I have heard people say, "If you can spend a week in the woods with someone, you can spend you're whole life with them" and I believe that has some merit.  This summer I'll be taking my dad on his first BW trip.  I'm excited to show him the place I love but the trip won't be the same without her.  We're still young but I hope to be tripping together for many years to come!
