| After growing up in South Carolina, she has discovered that northern Minnesota is a beautiful place to spend the winter! When the lakes freeze over and the snow starts to fall, Kate guides dog sledding trips with Wintergreen Dogsled Lodge, cross country skiing over the rocky, woodsy terrain of the Great North Woods. She graduated from Converse College in Spartanburg, S.C., and then spent a year teaching English at a public high school in France. She also spent time teaching outdoor education to students in Pennyslvania, Minnesota and North Carolina, before coming back north to live year-round. |

In her free time, she also enjoys playing her violin (in
both the classical and the fiddle style), and making
stained glass art. She also enjoys traveling the world
as much as possible.
Kate really enjoys sharing the North Woods with
people, particularly helping people discover what they

| There is magic in the feel of a paddle and the movement of a canoe, a magic compounded of distance, adventure, solitude and peace. The way of a canoe is the way of the wilderness and of a freedom almost forgotten, the open door to waterways of ages past and a way of life with profound and abiding satisfaction. – Sigurd Olson |
