Book

Walking home : on the Pacific Crest Trail / Rick Rogers.

Rogers, Rick, 1960- (author.).

Summary:

"Rick brings the day after day realities of hiking the Pacific Crest Trail to life with comic insight. Adventurers on this 2,600-mile footpath face challenges with imagination and sometimes dubious creativity, often with riotous results. But just as important are the moments of candor about the endeavor. Walking home chronicles not just a life's longing fulfilled but offers an opportunity for us all to examine the relationships and responsiblities we have as friends, parents, citizens, humans. We all can benefit from this experience of shouldering a backpack and taking it outside for a long, good walk"--Page 4 of cover.
