Northern Michiganders Lindsay Bean and Jess Laxo left this past Sunday to paddle the perimeter of Lake Superior, the largest freshwater lake in the world. They pushed off from Marquette, MI in their 17-foot canoe with homemade cover and spray-skirts. The 1400-mile trip is on somewhat of a schedule due to the obvious necessary food drops, hoping to wrap up the paddle around the middle of September. For those who have never been, Lake Superior is beautiful, hostile and cold. There are long stretches of uninhabited shoreline, with rugged cliffs interrupted by seemingly forgotten coves.Check out their Facebook page to follow the trip, and to catch some gear flicks and parting photos. Check some press on their sendoff from the local paper, The Mining Journal.
