My copy of Exploring the Appalachian Trail -- Mid Atlantic States arrived the day I left for vacation.Why did I buy that, you ask. The teen doesn't like to walk in towns. She loves to hike in the woods. And hiking the AT was on her bingo card this summer. I did one section back in July, I think, that was hard, but not too rocky. I'm looking for similar hikes, and maybe closer to the 5-6 mile range. I'm not up for 10-12 mile hikes. Or at least ones that have an "out. And frankly my knees will not handle the rockiest portions, so I'm hoping this book will help. It came highly recommended.
When I first started looking for it I went many places. I like to shop in stores and keep the locals employed. LL Beam didn't have it. Barnes and Noble didn't have it. The Moravian Book Store didn't have it. I had to order it thru the Amazon monopoly.
Why did I need a book-book? Did you ever try to get internet or cell service in the woods?
