Expedition Canoing Really good book.

Read almost all of it here for free on line.
Makes me want to run a river up north now.

For instance Going down stream with your rope and boat around a obstacle is called lining.
Going up stream would be called tracking.
I now need to edit my Penobscot post:)

This book looks like it covers a lot of essential info. Great for anyone into canoeing. Does it actually list the 'wild rivers' in N.A.?
