From the first chapter to the last, you're riding on the edge of your seat with laughter and wonder. This is the best of 26 years in the saddle. If you've never smelled the breath of a grizzly bear in camp, you will. You'll find out how he discovered the 'Voluptuousness of Living'. Wooldridge meets fascinating men and women from around the globe that will astound and inspire you. This book mesmerizes readers with animal stories that bring a smile to your face.
