M.J. Eberhart (the Nimblewill Nomad) began backpacking in the 1980s and set off on his first uninterrupted long-distance hike in 1998 following his retirement as a physician in Florida. Raised in the Missouri Ozarks, he now lives in Eldon, MO. Since the epic journey retold in Ten Million Steps, Eberhart has repeated the deed hiking yet another odyssian route from Canada to Florida, making him the first person to hike the entire length of the Appalachian Mountains. He has yet to stop, undertaking a major adventure each year. Check out his Web site at www.nimblewillnomad.com for details on his everlasting quest to discover himself and the land beneath his feet.
