Date: Sunday, August 4, 2002, 1:24am _____________________________________________________________________________________ Hello Mary It is so wonderful to hear from you. I'm in Kent, Connecticut couple days past Bear Mountain. If you and others are still interested, I would love to have you meet me somewhere up the trail. I'll be checking my e-mails more frequently knowing that we may meet up. I have so much to share with you, and I'm looking forward to chatting someday soon. If it's one thing that I've learned on this trail, it is that one does not have to be on the trail, to be on The Trail. This experience has transitioned from what was a physical journey to a mental journey to being completely emotional and then finally, the spiritual pilgrimage that I was searching for. I had eventually found this path as soon as I stopped searching for it, and now there is no separation between the physical/mental/emotional/spiritual it has all fused into one harmonious path, the path of love and it is here where everything exists and everything is real! I would love to share this path with you, so let's be in touch and try to make it happen. Harmony and love Pacence

As she travels along the ridges of the ancient mountain chain, she realizes that she isn't walking through nature—she realizes she is part of nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sauntering Thru follows the true story of the author, Raiden, a scientist who escaped to the mountains and found humility, simple living, and a lifelong partner (Chilly Bin) whom he met, against all odds, while hiking through the woods covered in dirt. Together, they traveled from Georgia to Maine on foot - a 2192 mile thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail. That summer, they experienced the immersive natural beauty of one of North America's great long trails - alongside the mental lows of walking endless miles over ankle-breaking rocks; being swarmed by biting insects; and narrowly escaping numerous adventure-ending pitfalls such as dangerous hitchhikes, nearly shattering kneecaps, and barely avoiding hypothermia, twice. These low points anchored this grand adventure, drew the couple together, and proved that together they could overcome any obstacle. It was the perfect experience, and it changed everything. This story aims to share both the euphoria and the harrowing difficulties of walking the Appalachian Trail while providing insights on minimalism and the other lessons taught by a summer living the simple life. Join Chilly Bin and Raiden on their journey to Katahdin!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four years removed from her first long-distance hike on the Pacific Crest Trail, Julie, aka Stopwatch, is ready to embark on another thru-hike, this time following the white blazes of the Appalachian Trail, a 2181 mile continuous footpath from Georgia to Maine. She is accompanied by her husband, Matt, aka Optimist, for whom it is his second thru-hike of the AT. They are both burnt out from stressful jobs and are both hopeful that the simplicity of the trail life will recharge their batteries, especially since they have experience on their side. For Julie, it is a chance to improve the person that she came to be and came to dislike, and for Matt, it is a chance to relive old memories while living the trail life he'd come to love. While they could never predict all that would unfold over the months ahead, with volatility in the weather and in their moods, they expect the trail to change the way they see themselves and the world around them. They are also not alone on the trail. Each day they are presented with new perspectives from the varied cast of trail characters hiking alongside them, a few of which have a lasting impression on their hike. This book is for those that appreciate challenges that lead us down the path of self-honesty, who are willing to join Matt and Julie as they make their way through rainy weather and rocky terrain, as expectations meet reality, as they meet new people along the way, and as they search for meaning in it all, all the while following the white blazes of the Appalachian Trail.
