Testimonial and
Information
"A veteran river trip planner and
participant, a clear and entertaining writer, Maria Eschen has put
together for us the Koran of coolers, the Torah of teamwork, and the
New Testament of timetables, trip logistics, and multiday meal
planning." --Bill Sedivy, former American Whitewater board member and
author of River's End.
Wish you could spend several days floating a river?
Whether you are a rafter, canoeist, or kayaker, or just intrigued
by wild rivers, this manual is a must-read.
Planning a noncommercial (no professional guides) river trip has
raised many a blood pressure and wrecked a few love affairs. River
Otter: handbook for trip planning offers an insightful analysis
and virtual tour of what needs to be done and how to do it. Difficult
organizing steps become easy when broken down into key camp duties and
areas of responsibility. "Spend more time playing and less time
struggling," Maria Eschen writes, "and save money and energy." She
advocates a team approach to minimize stress and offers sensible
leave-no-trace tips to preserve river ecology "for future generations
of river otters."
Each page contains a helpful hint, a charming illustration, a
pertinent photograph, or a relevant story from the author's 34-year
history running rivers. A comprehensive guide, this 288-page handbook
is packed with safety, culinary, and organizing details in
easy-to-read text, tables, lists, and charts. One of the twelve
appendices contains over two hundred resource contacts, including web
sites and e-mail addresses.
Eschen is the author of a novel, poetry, and technical articles in
the public health field. A former registered nurse and university
professor, she lives with her family in Idaho.
