Grafton - Wild Raven Adventurers - Jennifer and Piere

While in Grafton I met two wonderful people.  They are in the middle of a 2-3 year adventure via paddling a canoe.  While my blog headline contains the word 'Adventure' these folks are the epitome of seeking and realizing adventure.

Jennifer and Piere are awesome folks with an incredible philosophy of life.  Their dog Jasmine rides on top of their equipment in the middle of the 20' canoe.  They exert 50 strokes per minute while paddling their canoe (do the math).

Example from their website:

.....The aim was to explore fully all aspects of a long-term expedition and to be able to live in the present moment; we will sell our home, our possessions  and leave our jobs. There will be no more barriers, nothing to hold us back or tie us down; only adventure in its purest form.

We will be modern day explorers and endeavor to be ambassadors of freedom. Our mission will be to share with as many people as possible our experiences, discoveries and reflections.

I cannot do justice to their content....  Please visit their website and blog, it is truly inspiring.

Also, they did not know about "The Great Loop" until learning of its existence, they have  since changed their itinerary to include its area.
