Thirty hours on the Huron

Our low-carbon-footprint vacation

With limited time, limited money, and a desire to minimize our carbon footprint, Gary and I decided to spend our minivacation canoeing on the Huron. Since the river can be very shallow in late summer, we chose a route through Ann Arbor to Ypsilanti—the dams would let us spend more time paddling on the river and less walking the canoe through it.
