This review of The River Gypsies’ Guide to North America from Brushy Mountain Publishing was originally published in Rapid magazine.
The River Gypsies’ Guide to North America is destined to become the Bible of itinerant river lovers. Authors Leland and Andria Davis’ comprehensive descriptions of 294 rivers, including both classics and previously unpublished runs, span nine of the continent’s primo paddling regions. The coverage focuses on good road tripping destinations—those with a concentration of quality class III–V+ whitewater and decent climate—and includes info on when to go and where to find camping, showers, Internet, groceries, paddling partners and, of course, cold beer. Easy-to-read maps, river beta and directions are enhanced by hundreds of color photos.
