Tenting Tonight: A Chronicle Of Sport And Adventure In Glacier Park And The Cascade Mountains
'Tenting Tonight: A Chronicle Of Sport And Adventure In Glacier Park And The Cascade Mountains ' Summary
They have troubles with the cook, troubles with the two boats they have brought along (The Optimist is the one responsible for the boats being there: he wants to run the north fork of the Flathead river and come out at Columbia Falls....just because it had never been done before!) troubles with the horses, some wonderful fishing, and lots and lots of mosquitoes.
Rinehart has a simple, intimate style of writing that makes you feel you have vaulted (figuratively speaking) into the saddle with her. And she does not whine about any of the adventures along the way. She freely admits when she is nervous or downright scared to pieces about sections of the trail, but it is all recorded in such a matter-of-fact and usually humorous manner that it is not until the trip is nearly over that you realize just how much she had been worried that they might not survive the trip over the Cascade Pass which brought them down into the Skagit Valley in Washington.
