What it Takes to Paddle 2,000 Miles to the Arctic with a Friend (and Write a Book About It!)
“The first part of our trip was paddling upstream on the Minnesota River, 1.5 miles an hour for 370 miles. It’s about the slowest you can move, and it’s a bit of a slog. But in terms of my relationship with Ann and us spending almost 100 days straight together, in retrospect, I really appreciated that slowness.” – Natalie Warren
