Customer Review: Will add a lot to any “outdoors” MV excursion.
If you plan on hiking, biking, or kayaking on MV, you’ll enjoy it more with this book. Just returned from a week on the island, where we tried several kayaking and one biking trips from the book. We never would have discovered some of the areas and ponds on our own.
Pros: Detailed directions, interesting things to look for, even where to find water along the way. We biked across Chappaquiddick to Wasque, and hadn’t read that section of the book (because I knew how to get there). Later I read that chapter, and wished I had read it *before* going, because there were things I would have known or noticed that would have made it more enjoyable.
Cons: There are a few black & white photos in the book, no color photos of the locations at all, which would have added a lot. Lee… how about a web site for readers to post their photos, notes, etc?
Would *absolutely* recommend it!
