Winter canoe journey raises funds for Autism Speaks

Joe Reidhead's parents and a wind chill of 19 degrees greeted him when he glided his canoe into the Nebraska City boat dock Monday morning.

The 27-year-old book publisher began his 1,000-mile trip at the Missouri River in Omaha the prior morning. He made it 36 miles against a stiff breeze.

“It was one of those winds that when you stopped paddling you started going upstream,” he said.
