Speaking of canoe trips: During the summer of '63 before heading off to college, a dozen of us engaged in what at that time was the world's longest floating game of “Diplomacy”. Anyone else remember those games? During one of them, Artie proposed a canoe trip to the Canadian lakes north of Minnesota. Lots of guys said that they wanted to come; but in the end only Artie, Bill Buchholz and I went. It was truly memorable in many ways. Quiet. Solitude (tri-itude?). Tent and not the light-weight nylon with pop-up aluminum frame. Heavy canvas packs with all necessary gear. Freeze-dried meals. Portages; sometimes more than a mile. We'd put firewood inside the tent at night to keep it dry in the event that it rained. Truly roughing it. And no cell phones or GPS. It was a great time. Without Artie it would not have happened.
