Lunch with Bob O’Hara
On Saturday we had the opportunity to meet with Bob O’Hara. Bob has paddled many arctic rivers including the Coppermine. When we met with him he was in the process of packing for his 68th consecutive summer going to the Boundary Waters.
He had many stories to share as well as plenty of advice. We also were given a tour of his house which is basically a museum, filled with artifacts from his various adventures.
He shared that Les Voyageurs is the best program he’s seen and offered for us to visit again after we return to share stories. After meeting with him he told me “There certainly a real age gap between me and them [your crew]. Canoeing on the other hand covers a common interest for all ages.”
