About This Book

A small party sets out on a season of canoe journeys and portages through inland lakes, narrating the practical details of camping, fishing, and travel while recording mishaps, weather, and the routines of camp life. Episodes alternate between vivid outdoor scenes—stormy crossings, icy morning dips, and careful carries through the woods—and reflections on gear, guides' techniques, and the pleasures of trout fishing. The account balances humor and instruction, conveying comradeship, the physical demands of wilderness travel, and a close attentiveness to landscape and lake life.
