About the author

Olympic gold medalist (rowing, 1984) writes a bunch of books. Then goes hiking, specifically the John Muir Trail. I've hiked the length of the JMT (223 miles) 27 times over the last 35 years. Solo. Better that way. You can go slow or go fast. Stop when you want. Eat when you want. Sleep late or get up at 1:30 AM and hit the trail. Who's to say no?

Maybe I'll see you one the trail next summer? Hope so.

If you read "Assault on Lake Casitas" and thought it was okay, then you can skip this book.

If you read "Assault on Lake Casitas" and loved it, then you should read this book.

If you read "Assault on Lake Casitas" and hated it, then you should skip this book.

It's almost a direct copy of "Assault on Lake Casitas" a book that I loved. I wish there had been more new content in it. As a stand alone book, if you'd never read his earlier works then it's a really good book. But when you've read his previous books then it feels repetitive. There isn't really anything new being said, it just seemed exactly the same as "Assault on Lake Casitas"

But if you LOVED "Assault on Lake Casitas" then this is a good excuse to read it again and pretend it's a brand new book.
