A walk in the woods

A walk in the woods: rediscovering America on the Appalachian trail/Bill Bryson 284 pgs.

I listened to the excellent audio version of this book.  Bill Bryson and his friend Katz hope to hike the Appalachian trail so suit up and get ready with new equipment and the guts to start walking.  This book tells of their adventure and gives some background and history of the trail and the forces that affect it.  Enjoyable and fun to read/listen to, it easily convinced me this is something I should not attempt.

  1. I listened to this on CD about 11 years ago and can still remember how Bill and his friend end up throwing away a bunch of food while hiking because it was too heavy to carry. Funny stuff.
