Over the years I have bought every book I could find that had anything to do with canoe travel and especially the Quetico.  More recently I built bookshelves and had my Father's old reading chair re-upholstered.  Early in that endeavor the idea was to have ample material to re-read when I was older and no longer making trips. 

Now I wish I had spend more time in a canoe than reading about it.  Damned employment always gets in the way of more interesting life events.
