Sidenote: It’s a very long trip. We drove in a car from Chicago to as close as you could get to the southern tip of Hudson Bay and took a train the rest of the way. The train made daily trips, so everyone had to stay at least one night. When the only hotel filled up, the hospital would accept visitors. This. of course, has nothing to do the canoe trip, which ended much further north, York Factory, and fully 60 years prior.
