The knotweed already reached above my head and lined the trail vigorously, backed by sumac both short and tall, giving the corridor a verdant blush. Almost jungle-like in its density, the growth was alive with birdsong.

Water gently slaps the bow of the boat as it glides with the casual current. Only the slowly moving river banks reveal that the kayak actually is moving forward. To take in the moment, I’m letting the paddle rest across the gunwales just in front of me. kAmp =6:DFC6=J 3C66K6 ?F586D E96 3@H :? :ED 5:C64E:@?[ 7@C4:?8 >6 E@ >2<6 2 A255=6 DEC@<6 @?

To take in the moment, I’m letting the paddle rest across the gunwales just in front of me. A leisurely breeze nudges the bow in its direction, forcing me to make a paddle stroke on river-right to keep my craft pointed properly downstream. kAmp3D6?E=J C6DF>:?8 2 C:89E E96? =67E[ C:89E E96? =67E[ A255=6 4256?46[ x C6>2:? :>>6CD65 :?

On the cover is a photo of the City of Johnstown.
