The Ordinary Adventurer: Hiking Vermont's Long Trail: A Primer for Baby Adventurers and Other Musings on the Nature of the Journey

Restless with wanderlust, novice hiker Jan Leitschuh ("LiteShoe") wondered if she had what it took to walk the entire Appalachian Trail. Not yet able to trade her day job for a six-month adventure, Jan hefted a backpack for a month-long hike on what seemed to be the easier journey: the Long Trail of Vermont. There, she and her opinionated, heart-attack¿challenged hiking partner, Clyde, undertook a crash course in long-distance backpacking, walking 270 miles from Massachusetts to Canada¿testing the limits of their physical endurance, friendship, and good humor in the process.Leitschuh, Jan is the author of 'The Ordinary Adventurer: Hiking Vermont's Long Trail: A Primer for Baby Adventurers and Other Musings on the Nature of the Journey' with ISBN 9780979708107 and ISBN 0979708109.
