| LynnAnne got the nickname "Icebreaker" after venturing out on an early spring canoe trip BEFORE the ice went out. Imagine LynnAnne skidding her canoe across ice just to reach water, then breaking ice with a paddle to reach portages. You could call her a die-hard canoeist. She has called Ely home for over ten years, and considers this small town to be a well-kept secret. "Every time I pick up an 'Outside' magazine that has an article titled 'Fifty Best Small Towns in America,' I think, 'Please don't let Ely be mentioned in that article.'" |
In winter, LynnAnne guides dogsledding trips in and
around the Boundary Waters at Wintergreen Dogsled
Lodge. In addition to the Boundary Waters, dogsledding
has taken her to the Rocky Mountains and the Arctic.
LynnAnne has facilitated a winter photography workshop
with professional photographer Layne Kennedy through
Wintergreen Dogsled Lodge. She learned several simple
techniques from him for improving composition and
lighting, and she has shown her photographs in Ely's
ArtWalk. While guiding, LynnAnne carries a Panasonic
Lumix, a compact camera with a powerful zoom – perfect
for canoe trips. If you would like to improve your skills
using your digital camera, LynnAnne is happy to share her
knowledge.

Her family moved to Minnesota five years later, and LynnAnne eventually settled in Ely, on the edge of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. LynnAnne is still known to enter canoe races. |

| 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 |
