"God bless Kevin Callan. The Happy Camper is still out there doing his thing and encouraging the rest of us to do the same. Still not entirely sure about the Kevin-and-Andy-La-Cage-aux-Folles-meets-the-Odd-Couple-or-a-pair-of-old-sneakers schtick but Callan charm comes in many forms. Once Around Algonquin is funny, corny, engaging and authentic with a dabbling of trail wisdom and life lessons woven into the tale of yet another epic canoe trip. Two blistered thumbs up!" -- James Raffan, author of Circling the Midnight Sun, Deep Waters, and many others.
