5.0

I picked up this book because I love canoeing but it led to so much more. Like a good canoe trip, the day goes by with laughter, action, and deep conversations on the water.

That's exactly how I felt reading chapter after chapter of this book. I related to some of his stories working at a Boy Scout canoe base as I had done the same for a few summers but I can only hope to relate to his honest look at history and drive for change throughout his life.

This is one book that I know I will read again and recommend to everyone.
