    Title sounds like the setup to a bad joke, but it’s a true and interesting story.

    Frenchman paddles into western Alaska town after 7,000-mile trek across North America

    UNALAKLEET — “Do people think you’re crazy?” I asked him.

    After 45 minutes of getting to know this man, it felt safe to ask and get an honest answer.

    “Generally everybody,” he said in his classic French accent. We both smiled and I nodded my head, yes, with understanding. Except I don’t think he’s crazy.

    Too bad I can’t read his web site, in French: http://cap-au-nord.com

    You missed the small flag to the right of the headline on his site which says “English Version”. Click that and the text becomes English.
