Summary
Take a Hike! is the story of one man's journey on the 2,167 mile long Appalachian Trail. Tim Hewitt, whose trail name was Paddler, talks about trip planning and preparation and shares with you his daily journal for his six month adventure.
He is joined on the trip by his 13-year-old son David for five weeks in the summer. David's journal and perspective are also included. This book is not intended to be an all-inclusive planning guide for your Appalachian Trail thru-hike, but it does contain information that the author believes will help you to plan and succeed in your own long distance hiking adventure.
Bonus chapters bring you a sample of Tim's creative writing talent as well, as he introduces you to the mythology of the Cherokee Ugalu, and the Penobscot Pamola, two spirit-beasts that haunt the Appalachian Mountains. These short stories are also available in the stand-alone book; Appalachian Trail Myths: The Ugalu & Pamola.

Takes you right there.
I've always wanted to do a long distance hike but there is always something that gets in the way. So for the moment I'm doing it vicariously thru other people. Paddler 99 sets this book out just how someone planning a trip would like it. It's broken down into days and miles hiked, where he stayed etc. It's just what I was looking for to gain the inspiration to break up a long hike into sizeable chunks. Thanks Paddler you really brought the essence of the AT alive. A great listen. I've started it again to get a better understanding of where the breaks are now I have my own AT trail maps and books.
If you can't tell I thoroughly enjoyed this book!

Just no.
This author is meticulously dreary and boring. Try Bill Bryson instead. Informative, funny, observant. The very opposite of this drivel.
