"It was an extremely relaxed and rewarding trip. Great weather helped, but it was the Conovers, their impressive talents, their beautiful wood canoes, their great sense of history and zeal to preserve north woods ways that made this trip special indeed. Equally impressive was their sensitivity to individual needs while gently holding to essential routines. To be guided in such a fashion was a real treat."
