From their earliest years together, Gary and Joanie McGuffin have spent their lives in the wilderness. Their honeymoon was a two-year 6,000-mile journey from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to the Beaufort Sea. And every year since, they have led canoeing expeditions in northern Canada, the United States and elsewhere around the world. Now you can eavesdrop as they recollect their travels. Each picture takes you to a new place of stunning beauty, and the superb photographs and lyrical captions in Wilderness Paddling 2006 may well inspire your own year-long wilderness adventure.. In addition to their expeditions as professional adventurers, Gary and Joanie are known worldwide for their high-profile conservation efforts. They are the authors of the best-selling books Paddle Your Own Canoe, Superior: Journeys on an Inland Sea and Where Rivers Run.
