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


Agree..... for some reason I like the last two hundred
miles of the trip more than the rest. I guess cause
that last 200 miles intrigue me more than the rest. I'm
from Missouri...so the sights and sounds of those last
200 miles don't exist here. and I've never been thru
such country

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


How come his books don't fare well with you?

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.


Yes agree. He was 67 when he did this trip. That's
pretty good for a man his age doing a 6 month trip
