If you missed last evening's TPT Almanac show, there is a new book out titled "The Last Entry Point". Author Joe Friedrichs relates numerous stories about trips to the BW gone bad and where people have lost their lives. Sounds a bit unnerving, but truly interesting! Something I intend to add to my library.

Thanks Freddy! I'll check it out. I have a habit of reading wilderness misadventure/tragedy books on my solo trips.

For anyone who wanted to catch the show but missed it last Friday night, here's Joe Friedrichs on Almanac.

Interesting interview - I will definitely be checking out this book.

Good timing, as I just came here to post about this as well. I just finished the book and it was truly captivating and also it wasn't all about death in the BW, but it talks about other encounters there as well.

A great read. Highly recommend.

(Disclaimer, I count myself as a friend of author Joe Friedrichs and he actually interviewed me about my experiences on Fishdance Lake for the book)

PS - his book "Her Island" about Cache Bay's longest park ranger Janice Matichuk is also a great read.

Evidently I was so excited to order, I accidently ordered it from two different vendors and received two last week. Another sign I'm getting older... But now I've got a gift for somebody. Win some, lose some.
