Location: Madison, WI | Hi guys,
Can't seem to find my copy of "Muskies on the Shield". Think I loaned it to a friend. Can somebody please type for me (word for word), the paragraph at the beginning where he talks about Guido Hibdon's first trip to LOTW and how beautiful he found the place to be. I would like to quote this paragraph for something that I am writing.
Thanks so much in advance, to anyone who can help!

| John, I believe the quote you are looking for is this:
"Every time I came around the tip of a point, I expected to find God" | |

Location: Madison, WI | Yeah that's the quote I'm looking for. However, I'm looking for the entire paragraph, so that I can set the context and properly quote it. You wouldn't happen to have that, would you?
Thanks,
John | |

| Hey John... Not to bore the other readers, but...
"The dictionary defines reverance as "a feeling or attitude of deep respect, love and awe, as for something sacred." That describes my feeling for the Canadian Shield. Fishing there is a spiritual experience for me. On my first trip of the year, after leaving the dock and going around the first point or island, I invariably stop, shut off the motor, and just sit there looking around. The beauty, the vastness, the sights and sounds, It's overwhelming.
Many of the most memorable and exciting events in my life have occurred on the Canadian Shield. You never know what you will see; what you'll find around the next island. Perhals old native heiroglyphics. A stare down between a cow and calf moose and a timber wolf. Rafts of waterfowl that extend for a mile or more. An abandoned gold mine. Certainly awesome storms, sunsets and sunrises. Perhaps bass pro Guido Hibdon said it best in describing his first trip to Lake of the Woods. "Every time I came around a point," said Hibdon, "I expected to meet God." | |
