""John tells a story of our great river through a lens that we can all relate to-the adventure of paddling 2,000 miles down the Mississippi River, coupled with the adventure of your partner, and we can see how they both change us forever, for the better."" - Andrew Downs, Executive Director, New River Conservancy ""A great personal recount of an adventurous journey down the mighty Mississippi, complete with humor, an eye for detail, and honest humility. Join them on their exploration and discover pieces of true Americana that are rarely found these days. I can appreciate all the notes and journal entries that had to take place each day to capture what would eventually become this book."" -Crash Gregg, Editor, Raleigh Downtowner ""Follow along as John and Jessica take you on an incredible source to sea journey down the Mississippi River. Their tale is a comprehensive and detailed look at what it is to paddle the Mississippi River and take on the adventure of a lifetime. Part guidebook, part diary, part history tome, and part DIY how-to/what-not-to-do story. There's drama, there's comedy, there's laughter and tears, there are many surprises, and it's always interesting. This book has a little bit of everything and all the right stuff. I didn't want to put it down, and I don't think you will either."" Dan Faust, 2-time Mississippi River S2S paddler, Missouri River S2S, and crew for World Record holder Dale ""Grey Beard"" Sanders. ""As a fellow paddler of one of America's greatest rivers, I have to say that reading this book brought back a flood of memories. Stories of those first anxious days on the river, storms, battling the winds, alligators on the Atchafalaya, all this took me back to the river. Many thanks to John and Jess for sharing their journey with us."" Andy Bugh, Mississippi River S2S paddler ""A page turner from the very beginning. I felt like I was in the canoe with them. I got to experience all the adventure with none of the mosquitoes!"" C. Newton, Independent Review
