LaNae and John Abnet sit down with Adam to discuss their 1600-mile kayak journey from the source of the Wabash River to the mouth of the Mississippi River. Find out how these Berne, IN residents became connected to several Wabash County residents along the way, why they choose to volunteer with the Wabash River Defenders, and how this 3 1/2 month journey changed their lives forever.
If you're interested in learning more about John and LaNae, you can order their book, Paddling Edna, or give their Separate Boats Instagram account a follow. For a deeper dive into their time on the river, check out an interview they did with NEIWT (Northeast Indiana Water Trail).
