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

If yes...what did you think of it?
What's the title and when was it written? I used to read his books, but
haven't kept up with any of the last 10-20 years. He now has a co-author for
his "Complete Hiker". I would guess he's in his 70s. Rafting doesn't seem to
be his game, but maybe he had some particular reason for it.

Yes I'm like you.... I read his first few books and
then sort of lost track of him.

The first book I ever read was "The Thousand Mile
Summer" at age 188 and it made a big impact on me.

Then I read "The man Who Walked Thru Time"

However I've since learned he has written quite a few
other books and have taken up reading his works again.

here is list of his works

This is an interesting interview abt his river rafting
adventure at age 67

Yes, that sounds like a good followup.

You must be the oldest paddler by far on this newsgroup! ;-)
