This solo expedition launched in the Adirondack Mountains on April 16th proved challenging, rewarding, eye-opening and was tracked in real-time by satellite and followed by thousands online. Find out how he met the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and survived violent storms.  Let Connelly's adventure memoir inspire you to seek out these water trails and experience portions of them for yourself.
