  “We had been trying to find a place to camp for one night and came across this organization — funny enough at the University of Michigan — known as Les Voyageurs,” he said. “It was founded in 1907 by a couple of forestry majors. It was destined to be a society — not a fraternity — of members who had a love for the outdoors and for nature, and who respected nature. They had a cabin on the Huron River where they allowed us to stay.”
