Adventures in Nature: A portal to books, trips, camp, life story all in one!
This is not junk! This is my essential gear.I have started packing for the first leg of our canoe trip to Hudson Bay. Part of the packing problem, especially when it comes to food, stems from not knowing how long it will take us to paddle 500 miles. Our little trio has never done that... Continue Reading →
Usually, when there are astronomical wonders to behold in the night sky, I am fast asleep. I just can't make my self stay up late to look at something so chancey. But Sunday night I happened to awaken at 11:30 p.m., right at the predicted pinnacle of the lunar eclipse. I put on my bathrobe... Continue Reading →
What does one do while stranded for weeks at the edge of a frozen lake? I have a part-time job with the US Forest Service in Cook, Minnesota. Because I am here in town and can't get to the cabin, I have been working full-time instead of part-time. I haven't worked 40 hour a week... Continue Reading →
Even though everything is still frozen, and I remain impatiently on the shore, the pussywillows are out! *at the risk of being politically incorrect

Some friends have told me that they don’t know how to follow me on my website. This is how to do it: Go to annesherveose.comClick on the farthest left... Continue Reading →
Last night the three of us who will be paddling to Hudson Bay gave a presentation in Iowa Falls, Iowa. I have done quite a few of these programs by myself, as have they, but this was the first time we did it jointly. It was really fun for me, and I think it gave... Continue Reading →
The Canadian Border Patrol finally got back to me, after I wrote an email, an online request, a letter, and called several times. The first time I called, they said crossing the border on the Red River couldn't be done. This time it was good news for us! Instead of giving the impression that Canada... Continue Reading →
Long long time ago, I can still remember…..I had a student exactly thirty years younger than I, and a colleague exactly fifteen years younger than I. We went on a college canoeing trip to the BWCA once, then twice, and now it has morphed into an every year activity. We paddle one year, bike the... Continue Reading →
