Friday on the Trail Book

This book attempts to figure out how I acquired this obsession. It must have started at birth. Nothing triggered it. It just happened. It's affected everything and most everyone in my life. We journey through the years longing, hoping and expecting the answers. We find a myriad of them. The stories are true and deal with adventure, happiness, hardships and humor—even a touch of sadness. You will laugh with us through the crazy antics. You'll feel the anxiety of looking down and seeing nothing but space for hundreds of feet. These backpacking tales will beg you to spring off of the couch and embrace the open fresh air, the breathtaking scenery, and the culmination of friends, siblings, sons and daughters. The catastrophes and the calamities that we endure bring us together. Besides when everything is nice and peachy and graceful and soft and good, it makes for a boring story. The worse, the better. Just sit back and enjoy one of the most pleasant books that you've ever read.
