Canoer's Guide to the Wild and Scenic Middle Klamath River

For a writer to capture any river’s story is a huge challenge–the more so for an ancient waterway like the Klamath. Fortunately, the Klamath has found a soulmate in Neil Rucker, whose lifelong passion for canoeing has brought him to this river literally hundreds of times. One of the West’s foremost canoe instructors, his legendary canoeing expertise, native teaching abilities and remarkable talents as a story teller, Neil manages something that precious few guide book writers achieve: an artful blend of fact and story that brings the river truly alive. The whitewater information here is rock solid. The personal anecdotes from a lifetime on the river are priceless. Woven together, they create a seamless, thoroughly enjoyable journey down one of the West’s great rivers. Reading this book you’ll almost feel like Neil is paddling alongside you. Let Neil show you his river. He’ll make sure you have a good time. . . Bill Cross, author,Western Whitewater
