Book Reviews of Remember The Carrot: A Change Of Pace On The Appalachian Trail
Book Review: A must read for Real Life and Armchair Adventure Travelers alike!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is definitely a "must read" for adventurers of all backgrounds. It is not a guide, but a journey. And it speaks to the hearts of many who are on their own journeys...desiring to break free from the rat race... to break free from the box that seems to smother them. As someone who has sought the solitude and companionship of the Appalachian Trail to fight my own dragons, I am excited and encouraged by reading Aaron's story. And as someone who actually met him during his hike, it's even more exciting to hop a ride in his pack and experience Aaron's journey to self-discovery. Just as Aaron had to evaluate his old life and the paradigms by which he'd lived his life, his book will challenge you to the same. If you are contemplating a thru-hike...Do It! Aaron is an example of the thousands of people who set off on that life changing journey every year. Let his story be an encouragement for you to pursue whatever carrot dangles before you.

Summary of Remember The Carrot: A Change Of Pace On The Appalachian Trail
After realizing that his life had lost its savor, Aaron dares to season it with adventure on the Appalachian Trail, where serendipity and toil would weave a path of self-discovery, a change of world view, and delightful (and some odd) characters and turns of events. Step into Aaron?s boots for 2,167 miles of peaks and valleys?physically, mentally and spiritually?as he backpacks north from Georgia to Maine. You?ll find yourself itching to throw on your own boots and hit the Trail... whether your boots are made of leather or long lost goals or new aspirations! "Aaron?s unique way of expressing his thoughts and feelings along the way is revealing and interesting, as are his hardships and friendships, which remind me of my brother, Earl." ~John Shaffer Secretary & Treasurer of the Earl Shaffer Foundation, Inc. (Earl Shaffer was the first Appalachian Trail thru-hiker, 1948.) "Aaron has uncommon talent in expressing himself; he is a wonderful and interesting communicator. I really like his alter-ego. Remember The Carrot is a wonderful read!" ~Bill Irwin Author, "Blind Courage". First blind AT thru-hiker.Excursion Guides Books
