What ..."

It is trying to climb a group of mountains (or peaks), instead of just one stand alone peak. I have been wanting to read this for a couple of years. Maybe back then I thought I might be interested in doing it, but now... I would be happy with a nice flat path.

Huh interesting! My boss's son is backpacking the Appalachian Trail, I think he just started it.

There is a book about someone's journey of the Appalachian trail but its name escapes me right now. It's similar to Wild.

I enjoyed A Walk in the Woods. I had the paperback but I ended up listening to the audiobook. Held my attention better. It was fun hearing about places I'm familiar with in MA, NH, and ME.

Yes, I'm interested to follow his journey! He's crazy for going it alone though. lol.

Am just seeing the rest of this conversation... I think we know where to find crazy people... on a certain book website... in a certain group...

Read A Walk in the Woods. Thought it was very funny. Liked it a lot better than the movie. I'm sorry, I wouldn't have picked Robert Redford as the main character. Maybe someone 30 years younger.
