Jamie Borglum IS NOT LOST!!! 🧭

If you see this canoe walking🚶‍♂️down the road or sidewalk in the coming months, he's not lost! Jamie is just preparing for his own big adventure this summer.

In late July he will be dropped off in International Falls MN and paddle solo approximately 265miles with 38+ miles of portage on the Border Route all the way to Lake Superior. He plans to take 14 to 17 days to complete the journey.

"For me, being alone and in my own head is the part of this adventure that will be out of my comfort zone" Jamie says. "I've come to realize that even though I am in wilderness areas often, I'm never alone." "In fact I haven't been alone without electronics or distractions for more than 24 hours in my adult life"

Follow along here, as we post Jamie’s story both preparing before and debriefing after his adventure.
