I hope you do at least part of the Appalachian Trail someday. Have you read Bill Bryson's book about it -- A Walk In The Woods? You should check it out if you haven't read it already.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-68507019278178093512012-07-21T13:23:13.660-04:002012-07-21T13:23:13.660-04:00Zibilee, I hate bugs and heat too (and how do you ...Zibilee, I hate bugs and heat too (and how do you survive central Florida's heat?!)nomadreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04795144320842413060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-74427105559944991722012-07-20T12:52:52.798-04:002012-07-20T12:52:52.798-04:00I have heard mixed things about this one, and am n...I have heard mixed things about this one, and am not sure if I would read it, but the fact that it explores what it's like to take the ultimate outdoor trek makes me curious about it. I, too, am eager to go hiking at times, though my ambitions aren't as big as yours. The problem is that I dislike heat and bugs and wild unidentifiable snakes. All things that I would probably see on a hike. I will have to give this one a closer look.

I could never do it. I haven't been camping either, but have a deep appreciation for the outdoors, and the Appalachian trail is no doubt a thing of beauty. I've seen this memoir again and again and wondered if it was worth the read. I'll have to find a copy at the library.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572049077903171939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-42244109811185314022012-07-20T08:40:45.455-04:002012-07-20T08:40:45.455-04:00I loved Eat, Pray, Love and I've been seeing a...I loved Eat, Pray, Love and I've been seeing a lot of positivity around about Wild.
