They have no phone, power nor indoor plumbing in their cabin on Englishman's River. They live in a simple but comfortable cabin that friends helped them build on the banks of Englishman's River, which winds through a small estuary on its way to Englishman's Bay.

At age 55, it takes more than it once did to tempt Hunt away from her home and back to a river.
Hunt is a skilled canoeist, able to guide a loaded canoe single-handed through whitewater.
Long before the first campfire is lit or the first meal cooked, Hunt prepares a detailed menu, based on''trip sheets'' the paddlers fill out in advance, telling about their special needs, likes or dislikes. How much food she brings depends on who she's feeding. I called her 'la petite generale' when I first met her. We came to a fishing camp and I boldly got out of my canoe and went up and begged. They gave me a pound - wouldn't take any money.
