Canoe Journey Journal
Ongoing coverage of the 2011 canoe journey to Swinomish.
The journey’s end
July 29th, 2010 at Thu, 29th, 2010 at 12:00 pm by Tad SooterThe journey is over – at least for this year. In 2011 a new journey begins as canoes travel through the inviting channels of the Salish Sea to the Swinomish reservation, near La Conner. It will be a much different trip than our rugged passage to the mouth of the Strait of Juan de Fuca.
I’m back at my desk now, and my paddle blisters have all healed, but this blog will live on in electronic limbo as an imperfect chronicle of the Paddle to Makah.
During three frenetic weeks of Tribal Jouneys coverage I produced about 6,000 words of copy —spread over three newspaper features and the daily blog – and snapped about 1,250 photos (with a few hundred keepers). All this content was scattered across several web pages. This is my attempt to put it in order:
