Perhaps that's because the book isn't really *about* hiking the AT, as much as it is about his personal life experiences, which included hiking on the AT. I don't think "A Walk In The Woods" is any more about how to hike the AT anymore than "A Perfect Storm" is about how to run a commercial fishing boat. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Nov 12 1999 - 07:21:56 PST
