A Splash of Reality - Sep 19, 2011
|
Reviewer: Dwight from Lubbock, Texas USA
|
I ordered the book soon after driving along the Arkansas river on a recent vacation. My immediate impression of the river was that I wanted my family to organize a multiple day float of the entire Granite to Canon City segment. A careful read of the book has, as intimated by my title, caused me to consider the wisdom of taking a family that ranges in experience from organizers of self led multiple day floats to frank novices. Most of us have more than several guide led floats on rivers in Colorado, Wyoming, Georgia, Idaho, and Montana. The rating method as used on individual rapid sections and the connecting lengths of river are being used in the family to perhaps consider some portions to be guide led and the middle to be self guided. The clarity of writing, the occasional pictures, and the included maps will help us to clarify the realities of our plans. I believe the book has been, and will prove to be, a great tool to plan a memorable river vacation in the near future.
