"As I paddled and portaged my way through Thurston’s Rendezvous with the Past, my mind was refreshed with the lifelong memories of the beauty, solitude, awe, wonder, discovery, and challenges that comprised my first Sommers Wilderness canoe trip. Each person who experiences such a canoe trip becomes Louis in their own unique way. Experienced wilderness paddlers, as well as those whose dreams of adventure are still in the making, will enjoy reading this wonderful and insightful story."
