Читать книгу Carolina Whitewater - David Benner - Страница 8

Acknowledgments

The authors would like to acknowledge the many people whose assistance made such an undertaking possible. There are so many, too numerous to mention, who have lent a helping hand in some way or another. A few whose efforts require a special note of thanks are: members of the Blue Ridge Outing Club and the Carolina Canoe Club for providing invaluable feedback for the new edition, Vann and Laura Evans for their notes on the Haw River, Leonard Baker and R. B. Binegar for their willingness to go well beyond the call of duty, and Donna Benner for her patience in typing the work in progress—little pay but many thanks.

And last, but certainly not least, we wish to thank our many friends for joining in “interesting” exploratory trips, even as they undoubtedly questioned the advisability of the friendship when such trips turned into hikes down dry streambeds, ice breakers, and major engineering feats—but always turned into memorable outings. We are deeply indebted to Steven Hughes. With the addition of many creek runs, Steven has made a very significant contribution towards keeping this guidebook fresh and relevant. Kudos to the man!
