Justin was a 21 year old city girl when she moved to her familiy\'s small fishing camp, called gunflint Lodge, in the wilderness Northern Minnesota. She and her Family lived there after they lost their money and their other homes in the Depression.
The lodge didn\'t have running water or electricity when they arrived. Justine learned how to hunt and fish from the Native American who live in the area. In the winter, she traveled by dogsled for days or even a week at a time

She got married in 1934. She and her husband, Bill Kerfoot, had three children. They worked very hard to make the lodge a successful business. After a fire in 1953,Justine and Bill rebuilt the lodge in only a few months.
Justine made most of the new furniture herself. It was sometimes difficult, but Justine and Bill made the lodge a success.

In her later years, Justine drove across Africa and traveled to the Amazone and Antarctica. She continued to hunt, fish, canoe, and ride dogsleds when she was over 80 years old. She wrote three books about her life.
Her life definitely didn\'t turn out as planned, but it was an amazing life.
