It’s difficult to be objective about this book since I contributed a pair of stories to it. However, I really enjoyed every other story in this collection cover to cover.
My favorite essay within was the Chiniguichi River and Laura Creek circuit by Bob Henderson. A tribute to getting to know a place intimately similar to singing songs along the landscape as your map.
