I wrote this book while canoeing the river several years ago--there were no guides and, of course, nothing at all with GPS locations in it--regarding re-supply points, getting around the dams, contacts in towns for help etc. If you are canoeing part or all of the river you'll want this--it is printed in a handy pocket sized edition. In fact, if you EVER plan to canoe the river--buy it now, it is self-published and when the first print run of 1000 copies is gone it goes out of print--so far 700 copies have sold. Happy canoeing. I had a riot on my trek-- but it has its moments--one time when the rollers on one of those big lakes were as high as my canoe was long!

A short, quick read. Enjoyed it. I am planning a canoe trip,
as well, however, he had a motor on his canoe, and I won't, so
some information would not be applicable to my situation. Did
find the personal experiences of interest and the information
on the stops he made and the availability of purchasing supplies
helpful.

I know that this was privately published and I'm sure that the author put his heart and soul into the effort, but it just did not meet my expectations, especially considering the price. Perhaps other people will like it more.
