About This Book

A narrator and his companion set out to locate a fabled mountain pond long spoken of by local guides. They recount the region's topography and legends, prepare light camping gear, and travel by boat and foot into remote spruce and hemlock country. Their route crosses abandoned lumber camps, valley streams, and rugged ridges; along the way they observe wildlife and the challenges of wilderness travel. Episodes mix practical camping and fishing details with landscape description and regional lore as the pair make their initial approach into the mountain interior in search of the hidden fishing waters.
