Kevin Fedarko’s book, the Emerald Mile, takes readers on the journey of the fastest ride through the Grand Canyon in a dory named the Emerald Mile. Fedarko’s book dives into the backstory of the dam, the characters, and even the record-breaking journey, and yet leaves one question remaining: what is the backstory of the dory’s namesake? In this 1st of 2 Emerald Mile episodes, the stories of Fedarko and Dave Van De Mark demonstrate the impact that words and imagery make when applied to places like the Emerald Mile in California’s Redwood National and State Parks. SPONSORSDown River Raftopia April 6Down River EquipmentInstagramFacebook Rocky Talkie5 Watt Radio, WaterproofDiscount Code 10% off:  RIVERRADIUS10InstagramFacebookYoutube GUESTSKevin FedarkoInstagramFacebookDave Van De MarkVicki OzakiLeonel Arguello RESOURCESThe Emerald MileOutside Magazine Kevin Fedarko ArchivesWhen & How The Emerald Mile Came To Be A Critical Part of the Original Redwood National ParkLocal Photography Legend Who Helped Establish Redwood National and State Parks Sets Out to Complete His Life’s WorkActivist and photographer DaveVandeMark treks to the upper reaches of Redwood Creek to  document how its conservation has impacted its ecological condition
