He's off
Joe
Kolodziejski, better known as Philly Joe, and his dog, Gracie, took off
on a canoe trip around the country on a cold, dreary Saturday morning,
Feb. 2. The intrepid traveler is on his way to New Orleans, LA, then Florida,
where he'll visit relatives and friends. Then he'll paddle up the East
Coast to the top of the country, where he'll start following rivers across
the top of country. On some of that trek, he'll have to walk and carry
his well-equipped canoe. When Kolodziejski reaches Michigan, it should
be October and he'll return to Port Aransas for a time before taking off
on the second leg of the trip. He's shown bidding one of his well-wishers
farewell. There were television stations and newspapers at the dock when
he took off, said Leslie Gordon, one of his friends.
