" Very engaging story of the author's attempt at hiking the entire AT. Enjoyed reading this and felt like I vicariously traveled along. Although now I am cold, wet and hungry. And extremely tired. "

Three Hundred Zeroes by Dennis R. Blanchard
" Definitely recommend! Dennis is a good writer.

I liked the book because Dennis is closer to my age (or make that I'm closer to his age) and I can relate (not to the heart issue). Plus he's an engineer with a sense of humor which is rare, and a bon... " Read more of this review »
