Tandem Rowing

From Wyoming to Mexico, an 1,800-mile adventure of a lifetime. Marriage itself is a journey, but this couple also embarked on a 1,800-mile adventure from the headwaters of the Colorado River-its tributary, the Green River in Wyoming-to its terminus in Mexico's Sea of Cortez. Author Susan Kees and her husband Bill made the trip after thirty years of marriage, as they were becoming grandparents. They traveled in a raft, a motorless watercraft with custom rigging and two sets of oars so that they could row in tandem. Tandem Rowing is not just a travelogue but a reflection on life, aging, and relationships, and an intimate portrait of a river that pulses through the landscape like the heartbeat of the earth.
