Book excerpt: Quetico Adventures captures the exhilaration of trekking, camping and fishing in the over 1 million square miles of one of North America's remotest wilderness areas. Mead's experience extends more than a quarter century. In addition to the adventure, this book also offers an extensive discussion of outdoor skills that can make your experience successful. Tim Mead began camping and fishing more than 70 years ago with his father in northern Michigan. In the intervening years, he has continually honed his outdoor skills and adventures into Ontario's Quetico Provincial Park have played a key role in his development as an outdoorsman. Mead's articles and photographs have appeared in a wide range of international, national and regional magazines. He is a Past President of the Southeastern Outdoor Press Association and a member of the Board of Directors of the Outdoor Writers Association of America. Both organizations have recognized Mead's work with Excellence in Craft awards.
