Natalie Warren: Author and Wilderness Traveler

Natalie is a published author and one of the first two women to have paddled from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay. She also a great guest for a podcast!

We talk about some of her canoeing exploits and then we take a little left turn and talk about other aspects of her life, as is our custom on this random winding river of a show. Join us for the ride!

We do talk quite a bit about some of our favorite canoeing camps here Minnesota- Menogyn, Widjiwagan, Koochiching and Chippewa.
