Time for Everything: A 6-Year Adventure on the A.T.
For all who dream of hiking the entire Appalachian Trail in sections, and those who have already done it, PATC Life Member and former Recording Secretary George Meek offers a rare account written especially for the section-hiker. Concise yet comprehensive, easy-reading, seasoned with poems, Time for Everything takes the reader step-by-step through planning, training, equipment, menu-planning, logistics, and life along the trail. George recalls close encounters with bears and poisonous snakes, a near miss by lightning, a nasty trail accident, feral goats, a hiking cat, and a sock-stealing rat. Contains maps, an equipment list, sample menu, and other useful planning aids. 152 pp., illustrated.
