Their friends and family called them crazy, but a group of Winnipeggers returning from a 46-day canoe trip that included a trek through the wilderness say they wouldn't trade it for anything. "It was the craziest trip I've ever been on," said Swan, 29, when reached by phone in Churchill Thursday. The "Know the North" group documented their travels on social media wherever they could snag a good signal. Swan said in total the group paddled over 1,400 kilometres through dozens of rivers on a route they believe no one's travelled before. Local businesses including Wilderness Supply and Gorp Bars donated to the group to support the trip.
