The epic journey of a lifetime, a coming of age story set right down the middle of the nation. In 1978, Cory Godfrey set off with Chuck Pease to see the country. They got along, mostly. They had a great time, mostly. They kept the "round side down" and stayed dry, mostly.

Enjoy their adventure. You will feel the wet and the cold and the wind. You will feel the thrill of watching the doors of the locks open and the excitement of spotting the Delta Queen on the horizon. You may fall in love with their sturdy and beautiful Seliga canoe, the Kolodji Queen. And if you find your mouth watering at the descriptions of savory stews and chilies, trail baked bread and tortillas, sticky honey and onion lunches, there is a recipe section at the end of the book.
