As the descendant of a French Voyageur, I loved the annual Voyageur Rendezvous held at Lake St. Clair Metropark each year, portraying my Metis g-g-g-grandmother who paddled these very shores nearly 200 years ago! Standing on the shores of the lake, imagining her there, was very thought-provoking. Taking the canoe out on the lake was the icing on the cake.
