Halfway to Halfway: River Stories

Halfway to Halfway: River Stories River Rafting Guides & Outfitters This is a collection of stories by, and usually about, river guides and outfitters. Many don't even take place on a river.

The tales focus on river related events that usually have little to do with whitewater. All say a lot about the culture of guiding and the people attracted to wild places and the odd things that happen once they get there. These are the stories shared around a campfire after a day on the water. Some are funny, some sad, some quirky, but they all come from personal river experiences and lifelong friendships.

Duh.

We are saddened to learn of the passing of legendary outfitter Vladimir Kovalik. Dick Linford wrote a bio of Vlado for Halfway to Halfway & Back. Dick’s piece envisions a movie about Vladimir: “It would be an action movie, involving being shot at by Germans, escaping from a train headed for Siberia; sneaking across the Iron Curtain; coming to America; going to Stanford; working in intelligence in Viet Nam, circumnavigating the earth by motorcycle, bus, ship and train; and becoming a river outfitter.” To read Dick's piece about Vladimir go tohttp://www.halfwaypublishing.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/vladimir.pdf
