Author Steve Lehto set out on a journey inspired by Douglass Houghton on Sunday.
Traveling in a canoe, Lehto hoped to make the 1,200 mile trek from Duluth, Minnesota to Detroit.
Excessive debris in Lake Superior in combination with poor weather proved to be to much and the trip had to be abandoned shortly after the canoe was struck and damaged by one of the obstacles in the water.
