In the well-written, laugh-out-loud, self-deprecating spirit of Bill Brysons A Walk In the Woodsand Nora Ephrons When Harry Met Sally, Dan White takes us along for a walk on the wild side of adventure and love. I couldnt put it down. Eric Blehm, National Outdoor Book Award-winning author of The Last Season When Dan White and his girlfriend Melissa set out to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, which stretches from Mexico to Canada through boiling desert and snowcapped mountain passes, his parents wondered how two people who had never shared an apartment could survive in a tent in the desert. But when Dan and Melissa, dubbed The Lois and Clark Expedition by a fellow hiker, quit their doldrum jobs to set out into the wilderness, the hardships of the trail provided these addled adventurers with a crystalline view of the American wilderness, themselves, and each other.In his wickedly funny memoir, Dan White also shares the story of Warren Rogers, who risked ruin to chart the trail during the Great Depression. As he walks in Rogers footsteps, he starts to wonder if hes assumed the mans braveryor his insanity.Both hilarious and harrowing, this account of a young couple’s hike along the 2, 650-mile Pacific Crest Trail is a testament to the power of nature to change us and the power of love to get us through the uphill climbs.
