Ka-Ka-Ska-Ska (Headwaters to the Gulf - in a kayak)

How many times have you been trapped at work daydreaming of escaping from the ho-hum doldrums to an adventure of exploring the unknown, casting aside pleas from your mother to be careful and the need to focus on detail instilled by your father?

â€œKa-Ka-Ska-Skaâ€ (â€œHeadwaters to the Gulfâ€ â€“ in a kayak) is the very entertaining true story of four friendsâ€™ adventure down the Mississippi River. The expedition was not a scheme to fulfill a lifelong fantasy of man against nature or even an attempt to satisfy an unruly midlife itch, but simply the result of an impulsive decision over a cup of coffee. With little thought to detailed planning, the foursome strikes out to conquer the third largest river in the world in kayaks. The chronological travelogue covers the highlights as they paddle through uninhabited wilderness and along the banks of river towns. This is not another boring guide book on how to paddle or where to paddle nor is it just a narrative of a sole expedition. Instead, the reader discovers a blend of colorful accounts of other paddling trips and a bit of history â€“ all seasoned with humor.
Anyone interested in the outdoors and/or travel who enjoys the lighthearted approach will love this book.
