About A Wilderness Adventure: Canoeing, Camping And
Product Description Have you ever been on a real wilderness adventure? Have you ever wanted to go but didn't know where to start? Have you ever just been curious as to what it would really be like? Then this book is for you! Come along as the author, an experienced fisherman, but a canoeing and camping novice, joins three buddies on an eight-day odyssey, canoeing, camping, and fishing in the Quetico Provincial Park in Ontario, bordering the Minnesota Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA). He fumbles his way along, learning lessons the hard way while discovering the beauty and serenity of a true wilderness that can be tranquil and soothing one day, violent and angry the next. Review William Monger's journal-based memoir... A Wilderness Adventure... most certainly well conveys the incredible, secluded serenity that can be found outside the confines of everyday civilization, and the comradeship to be found and shared by four good friends testing together their own endurance and wilderness skills. Not to mention the appetite-arousing descriptions of freshly-caught fish filleted, fried, and eaten around the evening campfire. Accompanying these young men on their sometimes rigorous but always rewarding journey into pristine wilderness is as comforting and relaxing for the reader as was their own sitting on high-placed river rocks to imbibe a timeless universe while listening to running stream water, singing birds, or a sudden, ubiquitous silence. A meditative adventure. Reviewed By: Joel Rennstedt "Reader's Favorite" Rating: 4 Stars About the Author William Monger was born in Chicago in 1945.
