Many thanks in advance!

Good day everyone. I am happy to announce that my first book has finally been published and is available on Amazon. I self-published due to the difficulty and ridiculous cost of finding a...

Were you at the Gathering for Jack's memorial? possibly camped out by Solace?

Thanks Dogwood. I have posted a second excerpt where I talk about Jack to some length, you are spot on in reference to the "ever-changing dynamic" of nature. As hikers become a part of that dynamic,...

Hi guys OK, I'm turning this beast loose on the world. Here is the first excerpt from my book. Hoping to get some traction as I begin to pursue a publisher. If you have time, give it a read and...

Thanks again.

Hi freinds

Does anyone know of a copy of the trailcast interviews that Jack did back in 2006?

Hi guys. I have a special request for our combat vets out there. I am conducting interviews and research for a book I'm writing on the transformative and therapeutic potential the trail has had for...

thanks very much rickb, I'm glad you liked it. More to come in the next few weeks as the book develops.

cheers!

Thanks for the share! over 2,000 reads in 72 hours so far.

I have not seen this movie, but it sounds fun. To be clear I am not suggesting we go back to a simpler time, but am looking at how disconnecting from the daily grind can be therapeutic. Another...

I love this!

I got snowed in on Hawk Mtn for five days. Storm was so bad even the helo's couldn't come get me.Was left to keep the CP up while every one else went in for Thanksgiving. Went through about 1/2 ton...

As I reflect on April 1, 1999, my first steps on my thru-hike; things are unmistakably different today in so many ways. Today's hikers are missing out on at least something of meaning and substance....

You were at Hawk Mtn in 1973? I was there 1986-1988. Spent 84-86 with 3/75 at Benning.

Some would call us deviants due to the contradictory nature of trail communities and the different social nature of the AT.
Do you see this "openness" as a manifestation of hikers being isolated...

For clarity sake, when I speak of isolation I am not referring to the act of being completely alone or hermit like. As thru-hikers,m the very nature of what we have done or are doing is an act of...

While I continue to gather stories for my writing project, I have come across some interesting concepts. One is how differently being isolated from the "real world" changes or affects people. I am...

I have had some incredible stories told to me over the past couple of weeks. I could use four or five more if anyone is willing to share.
This book will not be a "trail" book, as there are ab...

Here is part of my response to someone who relied to me privately who is planning a AT hike.
I can tell you, that the trail has magic. Not trail magic as you have most likely heard about. But real...

Great Idea.

Hi guys, been a while since I have posted, but a few of you may remember me. I hiked in 1999 "Superfly SY".

I am writing a book about how the AT has had a trans formative affect on some of us who...

Good afternoon trail friends and family. I am blessed to have two shelter journals that belonged to Jack.
One is the Mt. Williams from 7 August 2000 to 25-July 2001. I have scanned this one and...
