This is a book about whitewater camping and camping on Maine's Rivers, as well as one trip on the Rio Grande in Texas. I have canoed on the Allagash, St. John twice, East Penobscot four times, the Moose three times, the Sebois, Machias, and on the St. Croix 15 times, including five solo trips. This book has practical canoeing and whitewater tips, many personal stories, lessons learned from my river experience and how to apply them to daily life, how to create a great trip, camping tips and how to really enjoy nature on the river. It includes hundreds of photos of canoeing, camping and nature in Herb's canoe trips of the last 25 years. If you send your email after you send proof you bought the book, I'll send a PDF copy of the book with the photographs in color free. The book also includes a journal of Herb's last trip on the St. Croix River, some river poetry, tips on enjoying life in general and how to deal with your inner experience and emotions on the river. Herb identifies many plants and birds along the river.
