A few years back, April met Andy Keith, a former Lutsen resident who now lives in Mexico. Many years ago, Andy and Herb Wills, also from Lutsen, canoed from Sawbill Lake to Hudson Bay over the course of several months. April was intrigued by Andy and Herb's adventure and is planning to canoe the same route this summer. She will start the trip alone, but is scheduled to join a group once she reaches the big Canadian rivers in order to be safer in the big rapids there. She was planning to embark on May 8, but will be delayed a few days by the late spring ice.
