It can be said that adventure and discovery is what pulls hikers out on the long trails, and that is true, but make no mistake, there is some escapism going on as well. To spend some time on the trail is to seek refuge from everything that normally demands our attention. the trail provides an opportunity to think about other things. At the core of every hiker's soul is an inward journey. Every hiker has his or her own reason to be out there, and their own story to tell. Here's mine.

WINNER - 2015 Outdoor Writers of Ohio "Outstanding Media Achievement." Before the Continental Divide Trail, the Pacific Crest Trail or even the Appalachian Trail, there was the Long Trail. Begun in 1910, Vermont's "footpath in the wilderness" traverses the very spine of the Green Mountains from Massachusetts to the Canadian border. Though it shares over 100 miles with its younger and more famous cousin, once they split, the Long Trail is another level of hiking challenge. Trail guides are essential for most hikers. A guide can tell you where water is available and what the elevation change is over a set distance. It might even use words like steep, scramble and exposed in a clinical manner. In a less clinical manner this book explains the rewards and the struggles of one backpacker's 2015 attempt to thru-hike this difficult 273 mile trail. There are beautiful views, sunny days, interesting company and other high points along the way. There are also slick downslopes, boot sucking mud holes, and a number of climbs that elicit the thought, "You've got to be kidding me." In other words, A Short Book on the Long Trail provides a concise, realistic, yet entertaining feel for this demanding experience.

Derick Lugo had never been hiking. He didn't even know if he liked being outside all that much. He certainly couldn't imagine going more than a day without manicuring his goatee. But with a job overseas cut short and no immediate plans, this fixture of the greater New York comedy circuit began to think about what he might do with months of free time and no commitments. He had heard of the Appalachian Trail and knew of its potential for danger and adventure, but he had never seriously considered attempting to hike all 2,192 miles of it. Then again, what could go wrong for a young black man from the city trekking solo through the East Coast backwoods? The Unlikely Thru-Hiker is the story of how an unknowing ambassador of one of the AT's least common demographics, unfamiliar with both the outdoors and thru-hiking culture, sets off with an extremely overweight pack and a willfully can-do attitude to conquer the infamous trail. What follows are eye-opening lessons on preparation, humility, race relations, and nature's wild unpredictability. But this isn't a hard-nosed memoir of discouragement or intolerance. What sets Lugo apart from the typical walk in the woods is his refusal to let any challenge squash his inner Pollyanna. Through it all, he perseveres with humor, tenacity, and an unshakeable commitment to grooming--earning him the trail name "Mr. Fabulous"--that sees him from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Katahdin in Maine.

The author is at his best when he is describing his actual experience on trail and going through his thought process. Four years after starting the Appalachian Trail with his brother to the Continental Divide Trail for his second thru-hike in familiar company. However, trail life is not always as rewarding and romantic as the pictures you see or second-hand stories you hear. This book provides an accurate account of life on trail: what hikers ponder, eat, love, loathe, and the questions they tire of answering. Some moments are too short, some are painfully long while others are whisked away unceremoniously with the wind. Follow along on the journey as he navigates difficulties, successes, and everything between while attempting to walk from Mexico to Canada.
