Synopsis
This book was conceived on a February weekend on the Pine River. That trip began and ended so inauspiciously that it has earned an honored listing in our personal archives under "Chalk it up to experience." It began early Saturday morning in a search for Edgetts Bridge - lost on roads with names like 50 and 49 1/2, guided by a vague hand-drawn map and even vaguer local advice. It ended Sunday evening when we found our way back to that remote bridge and discovered that our vehicle had been broken into and ransacked. On the drive home we decided something had to be done. There had been too many trips marred by insufficient and inaccurate information. There was no such guide at the time. So, to make a long story short, we decided we would create one, and - two years and about 1,500 miles of canoeing later - this is the result.
