"Most of us rely on air conditioning for comfort, automobiles for travel, and television sets for entertainment. Bob Cary is more at home with sleeping bag, canoe, and fishing rod. That sets him apart and equips him to tell good stories of an outdoor life well lived. I greatly enjoyed this book." —Charles Kuralt, host of CBS On the Road with Charles Kuralt

"Bob Cary is the best storyteller I know. More clarity comes from his pen than I can coax out of my Nikon. I wonder if he would trade?" —Jim Brandenburg, author and photographer
