Summary: Bloody [Mary] these kids are crazy!
Review: All right lets just start by saying these kids are crazy. Paddling down the M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I from Wisconsin to the Gulf of Mexico and then oh if that wasn't punishment enough paddling around the Gulf of Mexico to the Florida Keys. Wowza! Adventureorama! Tom Sawyer and Huckfin would be green with envy as was I reading this beautifully laid out book. It's an honest and compelling combination of journal, photo essay and sketch diary. Lots of humor and insight. Nigel and Kristen might be the last great American explorers. A Lewis and Clark for the New Millenium.

Summary: Beautiful!
Review: Recommended by friends, I'm very pleased. The photography is phenomenal, and the way the authors portray their adventure is sometimes romantic, sometimes comical, sometimes surreal, but always exquisite. A great adventure, and a great book.

Summary: Their Path Less Traveled
Review: What a wonderful ride by a pair of adventurers! I found the book fascinating from the start, from the audacity of the authors to sell every item that couldn't be packed in a canoe, to a view of Americana that most of us forgo in our temperature-controlled world and an honest look at real people. It made me think about what I "can't do without", and how that's not really true. I bought an extra copy for my Dad, who admires those who listen to their own drummer.
