If I was only a Voyaguerette

One of the most enjoyuable reads regarding the Boundry Waters and I'm a male

Tall tales by wild women

Take a humorous and fantastical canoe trip through the wilderness with a zany bunch of women who imagine they're the Voyageurettes, the distaff (and historically overlooked) side of the famous French Voyageurs. Each new tongue-in-cheek tall tale only adds to the self-proclaimed myth of these irrepressible women. Their motto: "We work hard. We paddle hard. We shop hard. And we don't eat dog." They lie hard too. Be careful, you don't want to sit around the campfire too long with these women or else you'll be hooked.
