Re: [at-l] present recommendations

Greetings,

My favorite is also Blind Courage by Bill Irwin.  I read it when it first
came out, which I think was 1990, the year after I started my section hikes.
Last year I had the immense pleasure of spending the evening at dinner with
Bill and Debra at my employer's conference.  My boss, also a hiker, knew
that I had recommended him as the speaker, so he asked me to sit with them. 


The next morning Bill spoke to us, and included a short video in his
presentation.  It was one of those rare moments when my work life and hiking
pursuits merged into one.  

I also highly recommend Uncommon Places, the photo collection of AT sites by
renowned photographer David Muench.  It's available through the ATC at a
pretty good discount to members.  The photos are roughly in south to north
order, so it's been neat working my way through the book over the years.

Take Care,

Tim
