the gulf of mexico to the arctic ocean. as tv9's john campbell tells us, the adventure has come to an end. i went in not expecting a whole lot because then you can get let down. if things don't meet your expectations it is harder to keep going. there would be no let down for jarred moore of des moines as he and his five companions left the gulf or mexico, bound for the arctic ocean. for us it was pretty cool. every day waking up you wonder what it is going to be like around the next bend. for starters they paddled up the mississippi river in february and march. there were some tough days. we had to pack everything up. we covered two miles. stopped covered in ice because spraying on up on us. everyone was miserable. moore says the six some became a family of sorts you get along, you move together with the same purpose have each others' backs. you also bicker and fight like a family as well over little things that don't matter. by the end of the day

you are over it. potential disagreement s such as do we paddle or do we rest were always settled by a vote. if i was a tie we had a coin flip. sometimes you lost and you'd be grumbling for two hours. democracy saved the day on their longest portage. 12 miles they carried their canoes and packs we tried to do it in one push so we didn't have to come back and grab things. we got six miles. can we vote on this? it was killing us. really heavy. we had boats and packs on our backs at the same time. then there was time in northern canada that they were blown off a lake for three days. the first day it rained the entire day. we were in tents 24 hours. you do stir crazy.. moore , who had one bout of food poisoning , says seeing canada from a canoe for four months was something few people get to experience.. they saw scenes like this..and caught fish

like this...and when the current and the winds were right.oh my. in all, they covered 5 thousand, two 30 miles in 240 days..the first to ever link all these rivers and lakes of north america. when you go back and look at a map..and see how far you went on your own manpower in a canoe it is pretty impressive to see that we as humans can do that. the re-discover north america crew took hours of video. they hope to release a documentary next spring. an artist in cedar rapids likes to add his own special flair to area restaurants santiago sanchez looks at a restaurant's existing color scheme and then creates custom tables to match. he owns a shop in cedar rapids where he starts with basic materials. then sanchez applies the design and special
