About this ebook
This upbeat nitty-gritty memoir, based on the author's 2001 trail journal, chronicles one man's hike the whole length of the Appalachian Trail, beginning just north of Atlanta and finishing six months later in Maine. The journey included adventures with a faithful and eccentric dog, a new romance, and the challenges and triumphs of walking 2167 miles in all kinds of weather.

As someone who wants to one day accomplish the Appalachian Trail, this book is a great introduction into the world of thru-hikers. I look forward to one day witnessing the different places and occurrences described in this book. And I might even bring my dog along too.

Hiking, camping, dog for companion and nothing but 2000 miles of America's eastern states. Can't get any better than that, except finding the love of your life along the way.

I would love to hike the trail some day. Boy did this book give me information I never knew I even needed! I couldn't put the book down. Loved that author included his adopted dog on hs trip!
