This is a very important event for Barry, his book published, after years of work and tears.  The fictionalized story of a teen living in Iron Mountain Mi who, with a school friend, wins an award for wilderness camping survival. They journey to Ely MN and work as assistant guides at an outfitter for part of the summer, and the best part of all is camping with their teacher by end of summer out in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area.
