MEC Edmonton Presentation

MEC Edmonton
Connecting Passions Presentation

This past week I packed up the Jeep, and hit the road to Edmonton for another presentation; this time to the Paddling community of MEC Edmonton. The rain poured down as the morning drifted into afternoon and soon rolled into the evening. I pulled some of my go-to items from the shelves of the store and set up some photo post cards for the guests. As I finished up inflating the packraft and putting up my paddles, I looked over my shoulder, and there, walking in the door were two of my River Angel from last years expedition. Huge hugs and bigger smiles I couldn’t believe it! Seeing the invite posted, and the teaming rain, they detoured to listen while on route to Alaska. The amazing couple had given me a place to stay and recover from my broken foot and blisters after the portage over the Great Divide in Helena, Montana. The energy around them being there helped fuel my presentation and by the end I felt it had gone the best yet. Flowing and finishing up fluidly, like that of the rain that washed each in to the shelter to hear tales of adventure, mental health and how a tiny squirrel taught me about compassion.
