http://www.amazon.com/Capital-Canoeing-Kayaking-Whitewater-Washington/dp/1478317752

Description from Amazon:
"This is a guidebook for whitewater paddlers from metropolitan Washington DC, Baltimore and surrounding areas. It includes the very small creeks that are not in existing guidebooks, as well as larger rivers like the Potomac and Shenandoah. The coverage includes most of Maryland, northern Virginia and nearby parts of Pennsylvania and West Virginia. In addition to maps that help readers locate the streams, GPS coordinates are given for all of the put ins and take outs. Historical and geographic snippets are included in boxes."

Steve was the leader of the "Thursday group" of paddlers.  He researched this book for about 27 years by running obscure as well as common streams after rains.  The book includes some DC oriented humor in descriptions that capture some of Steve's personality.  I was lucky enough to meet Steve and paddle with the Thursday group several times while he had a reprieve from cancer in his final year.  He passed in 2013, shortly after publishing this book.
