Book Review: Interested in the Appalachian Trail? READ THIS BOOK!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a must-read for anyone who is planning an Appalachian Trail thru-hike; who has ever thought about hiking the Appalachian Trail; who has previously hiked the AT; or who enjoys reading about others who have hiked the AT.
Ms. Shepherd, following her life-long dream, takes us along as she experiences the ups and downs, joys and heartaches, pains and pleasures of trail life. From Springer Mountain in Georgia, when she takes the first of millions of steps, to her struggle to the top of Mt. Katahdin in Maine 6 months later, you will feel like you're right there with her. Feel her excitement at her first bear sighting; her joy at finding trail magic and trail angels; her pain, as hiking miles and miles with a 30-pound backpack takes its toll on her feet and knees; her terror as she takes a tumble down a slick rock slab; learn the art of "yogi-ing" a meal; find out what it's like to sleep beside a dog in an over-crowded shelter; savor the new and different cuisines she discovered; enjoy the views, the sunsets, the wild ponies, and the friends she made along the way.
This book is well written, easy to read, and hard to put down! Don't miss this one!
Summary of My Own Hike: A Woman's Journey on the Appalachian Trail
At the age of 41, and having never backpacked more than thirty miles in her life, Nancy Shepherd sets off to hike the 2,168 miles of the Appalachian Trail. "My Own Hike" follows along as she grows from an inexperienced hiker into a confident long-distance backpacker and gains the self-assurance to go beyond the perceived "rules" of the trail and end the hike on her own terms.Excursion Guides Books
