“Doug is responsible for many people seeing rivers as paths to adventure, as our forefathers did. To each of these people, Wherever Waters Flow is record and proof, a capsule of ‘a time that will not come again.'”

— Claude Terry, founder of Southeastern Expeditions, technical advisor and stunt man for Deliverance
