"Ka-Ka-Ska-Ska": ("Headwaters to the Gulf" - in a kayak)
Jim Lewis, now retired, lives with his wife of forty-plus years in Grand Rapids, MN, a small town in northern Minnesota where there are over 1,000 lakes in the county. Jim and Sharron have three grown married children and four grandchildren. Both he and Sharron are involved with church and community. Jim began paddling a canoe at age twelve and bought his first kayak in 2003. He has since logged in over 4,000 kayak miles on lakes and rivers across the northland, in thirteen states and Canada. When not on the water, Jim enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, biking, hiking, camping, and trip planning. He is also an avid photographer. Though this is his first published book, Jim has kept other travel journals over the years.
