While working with a group of women at Lori’s home the two discovered their mutual desire to take women on wilderness trips for personal growth and renewal of spirit. Lori and LuAnn were raised in a family of 7 children, vacations were always about camping and exploring various National Parks. Their father went one step further as he ventured with them into the BWCA for extended wilderness adventures. They were hooked into the beauty and splendor of this unique landscape. Here they learned the joy of paddling into new lakes, discovering unique campsites, and simple meals cooked over a fire. They relished the physical challenges of portages, long paddles and handling whatever weather nature dished out that year. As young girls they found the peace, strength and inspiration provide by those lakes and trees.
