This is the story of an individual who achieved that goal despite personal impairments due to an accident. It's a reminder how health and wellness are critical for our well-being. I felt fully engaged with the author as he encountered euphoric moments and made spontaneous decisions while struggling with various situations on the Appalachian Trail. It was heartwarming to read of the support his family provided. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good read *by J***R on December 22, 2025* Good read, a nice thru hiking book that’s a little bit different than the others I’ve read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well written and interesting *by J***. on June 22, 2025* I have read a few memoirs of long term hikers and this may be the best I've read. It's about a hike on the AT, but it's also a story of a man with a serious chronic pain problem. He's very candid and insightful about himself and his feelings. He recounts his decision to make the hike, his preparation, his observations about the people he encounters, his successes and setbacks. He developed an alternative way of doing the hike (all of it) that allows him to complete it. The pacing of his writing, his storytelling about his family, his injuries and his relationship with pain are all well done. I looked forward to reading it each evening.
