I've read<BR/>Miles from Nowhere<BR/>Out of Africa<BR/>Alive<BR/>Full Tilt: From Ireland to India by Bicycle - My favorite of the bunch but anything by Dervla Muphy is well worth your time. She's a true adventurer! <BR/><BR/>Peter Jenkins, Across America kindled my fascination for traveling slowly. <BR/>Here's some other books you would enjoy: <BR/>At the End of the Pavement - Erika Warmbraun (Solo Bicycle trip from Russia to Vietnam)<BR/>Tales of a Female Nomad - Rita golden Geldman (She gets around!)<BR/>Tracks - Robyn Davidson (crossing the Australian outback by camel)<BR/>and lest I seem sexist <BR/>The Longest Walk - George Meekan (Walking from the tip of S. American to Alaska)<BR/><BR/>I'll have to check out Walking Home.<BR/><BR/>Brocolli drying commencing tomorrow. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15430509.post-33333672561057655802009-02-26T21:37:00.000-05:002009-02-26T21:37:00.000-05:00Two books started me off and I still remember them...Two books started me off and I still remember them. "The Long Green Tunnel" about an early AT thru-hike. I read that long ago when I was in grade school. I didn't get to hike the AT when I was 40 years old, but I started wanting to.<BR/>The other one that still rings is "A Walk Across America" by Peter Jenkins. Jenkins started from Alfred, NY. That is only 30 miles away. He walked the year I graduated high school. I've read the book several times. I haven't yet done a cross country walk, but I will.<BR/><BR/>SteveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04987242317274958630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15430509.post-18792564888576442212009-02-26T05:30:00.000-05:002009-02-26T05:30:00.000-05:00oh walking home sounds really good. I read Not ove...oh walking home sounds really good. I read Not over the Hill but into the woods (I think that is the title LOL) about all the women hikers that hit the long trail after the age of 50. The first female to thru hike on AT was 60!<BR/><BR/>My contact info:<BR/>krze24@aol.com<BR/>And OMG I am thankful for someone that can relate! :)forever losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813271333384800532noreply@blogger.com
