Acknowledgments

I have no scapegoat to take the blame for the inevitable mistakes that occur in the preparation of any guidebook. All errors and omissions fall entirely at my own booted feet. Nonetheless, a few people deserve to be mentioned for their help in making this book happen.

For her love, support, and assistance with every aspect of this book (and in my life), top honors go to my wife, Becky Lovejoy.

For her assistance with all things botanical and for putting up with me as a sibling, I thank Christine Ebrahimi.

For introducing a fresh perspective on useful outdoor books, my appreciation goes to Trevor and Kathy Todd.

I also thank Brianna James, without whose friendship and support this book (and many other things) would not be possible.

Finally, thanks to the people at Wilderness Press who, to my amazement, were nice enough to publish my books in the first place. Special mention must go to Tom Winnett, Mike Jones, Jannie Dresser, Jaan Hitt, Roslyn Bullas, Larry B. Van Dyke, and Laura Shauger. They all deserve more recognition than they usually get for turning my preliminary efforts into something that is readable, useful, and attractive for you, the reader.
