When Steven Faulkner and his 17-year-old son Justin
began retracing the 1,000-mile Marquette/Joliet
journey, they were only tourists on a two-month holiday.
But as their journey unfolded from the straits
of Mackinac, they discovered
why it had been 300 years since anyone had attempted
to re-create this epic voyage through Green Bay,
up the Fox River, down the Wisconsin River
and finally to the mighty Mississippi and St. Louis.
