This is my feeling exactly.  In fact, Lynn's book is one of the pivotal
inspirations that finally led to to hike the AT after years of procrastination.
I have read Lynn's book at least twice, refer to it every now and then, and plan
to read it again.  I actually still get emotional when I get to the last few
pages.  What it contains has pushed me to continue section hiking and still plan
a thru-hike in the not so distant future.

Lynn, I've told you this before, but I think you did a GREAT job!!

Bryson writes fiction.
