In the Fall of 1969, Rick Ranson and John Van Landeghem, both
barely out of high school, took on the might of the Red and
Mississippi Rivers to paddle a canoe from Winnipeg, Manitoba, to
New Orleans, Louisiana. Combining high drama with hilarity,
Ranson tells how the duo, ducked bullets in St. Louis, avoided a
whirlpool, worked on a Mississippi tow boat, sailed a yacht
through a barge congested Cairo, IL, and spent a few days in the
Fargo City Jail, while meeting an eclectic array of unforgettable
characters.
