Experience the thrill, adventure and drama of a thru hike without all the work and misery. This book, written in journal format, follows the day to day action as the author attempts to hike the entire Appalachian Trail in one shot through winter. The book captures in vivid detail, a rare southbound thru hike late in the hiking season, as the author walks the majority of his hike alone through the wilderness. Few attempt to hike the entire Appalachian Trail. Fewer attempt it alone through winter. There is no other tale like the one told here. After reading this book you will feel like you have walked and lived on the trail. This is one of the newest books about the trail, as the author writes about his experiences on the Appalachian Trail from 2011 and 2012.
