Progress

So, unbelievably, I have finally finished writing the book. Since my last post I spent a few weeks in the Adirondacks finishing up the rivers in that area, came home and did a ton of writing and map making, then headed out for one last paddle on the Delaware River. I invited a few friends to come along, and was lucky enough to have my buddy Jeff and his brother Edward join me. My dad also came along,which was a treat.

We left around 3am, drove up to Cochecton, and paddled down to Narrowsburg. It was the perfect paddle to end a great adventure. We saw a bald eagle, two red foxes, great blue herons, mergansers, deer, and even found two water snakes on the river's edge. We ran Skinners Falls, took our time on the slower sections, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole day. I had brought along a growler of beer I had bought from the Lake Placid Brewery, and we opened it up to celebrate the end of the last paddle I needed for the book. Finally!

Now that the writing is done, I am heavily into the editing phase, and am already thinking of ideas for my next book. My wife would kill me for doing this but I would love to write a new mountain biking guide to the state next. But, I'll wait a bit after this book is done to begin that one.
