A Note from M Leng Leng:

Hi all! M weary but not as weary as the “pullers” and many who have been in the journey more than 3 days. With that said, it’s been a wonderful experience of sharing, learning…

Check out http://www.paddletoquinault.org for more Canoe Journey information.

This is a healing journey, with focus on no substances such as alcohol/drugs, healing from many traumas, and building communities. Read the 10 Canoe Principles.

I am honored and blessed to be part of this journey. Many thanks for all those that gave us support, prayers and blessings. Mabuhay tayong lahat!
