Anyone read his book abt the rafting trip down Colorado
River to the sea?

If yes...what did you think of it?

I found the most interesting portion the very end. I mean
how many people actually raft it to the Gulf of California?

Overall, it was OK. Generally, his books don't fare well over time
with me.

One of the more intriguing points was where he intersected with crux
locations of his previous journeys, primarily A Walk Through Time.
A few decades brings out different lighting on spots on the map.

He dwells a bit on how he's always been a very selfish person.
That was apparent on reading the book. Where he couldn't stay
in a designated campsite, couldn't be bothered by a Grand Canyon
permit, required special handling at dam portages, etc.

But then, he did it which is more than about 99.995% of the people out
there.
