Book excerpt: “We do not take a trip; a trip takes us,” John Steinbeck noted in his 1962 classic, Travels with Charley. In 2008, Bill Barich decided to explore the mood of the United States as Steinbeck had done almost a half century before. He set off on a 5,943 mile cross-country drive from New York to his old hometown of San Francisco on Route 50, a road twisting through the American heartland. Long Way Home is the stunning result of his pilgrimage. From the Eastern Shore of Maryland to the spectacular landscape of Moab, Utah, to Steinbeck’s own Salinas Valley, the book is filled with memorable encounters and rich in history and local color; a truthful, inspired account of a once-in-a-lifetime trip. It offers an incisive portrait of a nation divided and the grassroots dissatisfaction that ultimately catapulted Donald Trump into the White House. From the Eastern Shore of Maryland to the spectacular landscape of Moab, Utah, to Steinbeck's own Salinas Valley, filled with memorable encounters and redolent with history and local color, Long Way Home is a truthful, inspiring account of the country at a social and political crossroad.

Book excerpt: Gold Winner, 2022 Human Relations Indie Book Award, TravelSilver Winner, 2022 Human Relations Indie Book Award, Motivational MemoirSilver Winner, 2022 Human Relations Indie Book Award, Personal DeterminationCelia Ryker's Walking Home: Trail Stories is about more than mud, sweat, and blisters while distance hiking the Long Trail. Reminiscent of Cheryl Strayed's Wild, Ryker's mind wanders as her legs carry her forward, beyond a woodland path, to places and people she thought she had forgotten. Her grandmother's spirit appears on Mount Baker. A lost cousin waits for her at the bottom of every ladder. Her late father's words reverberate among the calls of barred owls. There were days when she didn't see another hiker, but she was never alone. Celia began writing about a difficult hike and ended up writing about the people who inspired her throughout her life. These are her "trail stories."

Book excerpt: On the Run is a collection of personal essays that portray the life of Catherine Doucette, a backcountry skier, horseback rider, and mountainee--roles that have resulted in adventures where she is often the only woman in a group of men. Starting from a young age, Doucette found herself pushing through the wilderness with her brothers, friends, and partners. Through hours spent outside, she gained the skill and judgement to tackle progressively bigger objectives and turned into an accomplished outdoorswoman. This collection touches on her native state of New Hampshire but simultaneously focuses on the lure of big mountains in the West. For over a decade, she chased winter around the world to ski but always with an eye to living a more settled life, to putting her heart on the line if someone would just ask her to. Like other women who choose or yearn to be in the wilderness, she wrestles with reconciling her outdoor ambitions with society's expectations. On the Run will resonate with anyone who has searched to define home and belonging. It will appeal especially to women. Readers called by the West, by mountains, or by movement will feel at home in these pages. On the Run celebrates the comfort, challenge, and community found in the expanses of the wilderness while confronting the limitations and sacrifices of a transient, outdoor lifestyle.

Download or read book Thirst written by Heather Anderson and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2019-01-14 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By age 25, Heather Anderson had hiked what is known as the "Triple Crown" of backpacking: the Appalachian Trail (AT), Pacific Crest Trail (PCT), and Continental Divide Trail (CDT)—a combined distance of 7,900 miles with a vertical gain of more than one million feet. A few years later, she left her job, her marriage, and a dissatisfied life and walked back into those mountains. In her new memoir, Thirst: 2600 Miles to Home, Heather, whose trail name is "Anish," conveys not only her athleticism and wilderness adventures, but also shares her distinct message of courage--her willingness to turn away from the predictability of a more traditional life in an effort to seek out what most fulfills her. Amid the rigors of the trail--pain, fear, loneliness, and dangers--she discovers the greater rewards of community and of self, conquering her doubts and building confidence. Ultimately, she realizes that records are merely a catalyst, giving her purpose, focus, and a goal to strive toward. Heather is the second woman to complete the “Double Triple Crown of Backpacking,” completing the Appalachian, Pacific Crest, and Continental Divide National Scenic Trails twice each. She holds overall self-supported Fastest Known Times (FKTs) on the Pacific Crest Trail (2013)—hiking it in 60 days, 17 hours, 12 minutes, breaking the previous men’s record by four days and becoming the first women to hold the overall record—and the Arizona Trail (2016), which she completed in 19 days, 17 hours, 9 minutes. She also holds the women’s self-supported FKT on the Appalachian Trail (2015) with a time of 54 days, 7 hours, 48 minutes. Heather has hiked more than twenty thousand miles since 2003, including ten thru-hikes. An ultramarathon runner, she has completed six 100-mile races since August 2011 as well as dozens of 50 km and 50-mile events. She has attempted the infamous Barkley Marathons four times, starting a third loop once. Heather is also an avid mountaineer working on several ascent lists in the US and abroad.
