Out west Book

For 38 days Joyce and Fred Stone paddled and portaged their canoe from Cumberland House, Saskatchewan to York Factory, Manitoba on Hudson Bay…through a world of "muskeg, mosquitoes, and moose." The wild beauty of Canada's vast North Country presented challenges—imagine hauling a heavily loaded canoe over beaver dams and fallen trees, then paddling 23 grueling miles against a bitter wind! The author shares all the stumbles and grumbles of this vacation adventure of a lifetime, along with the excitement and triumphs—with unfailing wit and sparkling good humor. The book's subtitle sums up this wonderful story: It just doesn't get any better than this!
