As 2 old (in both senses of the word!) friends and BWCA rookies we chose a Peta-led canoe trip as our retirement celebration. Peta possesses a vast amount of camping, canoeing, and botanical knowledge that she readily shares. She is equal parts cheerleader, teacher, coach. She pushed us just enough so we accomplished more than we thought we could. The food was delicious, the equipment top notch, the scenery gorgeous. The trip was a resounding success and so much fun. I would do it again in a heartbeat.
