I go to the outer banks a few times a year and i love to kayak. i bought this book a few months ago and finally got to do 2 of these trips last week. i did the alligator river on the mainland and the hog island trip in wanchese. both were great. very beautiful areas and fun paddles. this book was a great help. the maps and the descriptions were great. i know the outer banks very well and i had no idea where all of these put ins were. i cant wait to go back down in april and do a lot more of these trails. one thing i did on my own was i photocopied the maps and trail directions. i then cut and taped the directions onto the back of the maps and copied them again. then i took the finished product and went to kinkos and had each map lamenated. it cost me about $1 per map and it was worth every penny. i had the map on one side and mile by mile directions on the other, waterproof and easily stuck under my front deck lashings. i also took a friend with me who had a handheld garmin gps. .Garmin eTrex Legend CX Color Mapping Handheld GPS i had never used one before (never really needed one on small lakes and rivers) and was suprised how handy it was (not needed but very helpful). i may have to pick one of these up. this book is well worth the small cost. i am picking one up for my brother for christmas.EDITED REVIEW 9/27/10This book gets more and more worth the price every time i go to the OBX. I keep doing more and more of these trips and every one is described accurately.
