AWOL on the Appalachian Trail by David Miller

5.0

David Miller leaves his unfulfilling Job to hike the Appalachian trail. Hiking two thousand plus miles creates incredible challenges that replace the routine of his prior life. The description of his hike is without a lot of personal commentary which I like. You can create your own commentary as if you are hiking the trail. There are a lot of detours while on the hike to small town motels and hostels, but always returning to the trail without missing any of it. David mostly sleeps in shelters on the trail abandoning his tent. Although I love the getting lost in nature with its internal self reflection, David’s story also allows you to experience small towns, trail angels and those connections on the trail that become ever more important as you progress through this grueling hike. Overall a great book.
