1st Read: July 23, 1994 - July 24, 1994
Interesting and crazy shit! Each person tells his or her own story of the wild ride they had attempted and survived while kayaking or canoeing the most awesome, and relatively unknown Canadian rivers.
What I enjoyed about this book was that they stayed away from the more popular rivers like the Fraser, Kicking Horse, Skeena and Firth as well as many others.

a bit obscure but worth finding [& reading!]

The pictures are incredible. The essays are nice, but short and generally don't provide much information about the river. Bill Mason's essay on the Hood River is great.
