Description: "Written twenty years after his first expedition down the Tennessee River that was chronicled in Paddling the Tennessee River, this new book finds Kim Trevathan paddling upriver, providing him with different perspectives of the river, its surroundings, and an older and perhaps wiser author. Trevathan's range as a writer is on full display here, with the everyday struggles of operating a kayak constantly, poetic musings on events and physical beauty, and an obsessive concern for the environment"--
