"Turning Ten", first published in 2000, is a collection of four world class adventures in the Great Lakes region made by children with their father when they reached their tenth birthdays. The stories of these trips are examples of how parents and children can bond as a team to reach challenging goals, with a guarantee of making lifelong memories in the process!
Now, 30 years after the first "Turning Ten" adventure, this second edition includes reflections about the lasting legacy of these four trips.
One-by-one, each of this book's four siblings joined the "Turning Ten" club. Their adventures included backpacking across Isle Royale, canoeing Michigan's Au Sable River, pedaling in the rear position of a tandem bicycle from Ann Arbor to Mackinaw Island, and paddling in the front position of a tandem kayak 80 miles through Lake Huron's North Channel. The book is filled with detailed descriptions of their experiences, their thoughts, and the routes these journeys follow.
Filled with adventurous stories, thoughtful reflections, and insightful guidance, this is a must-read for parents everywhere.
