What were you doing 150 days ago? It seems hard to believe that I was sticking my foot through a fence into Mexico, and starting to walk north to Canada. It was all very exciting then, just starting on a great adventure, not really knowing what to expect. I had no doubts about being able to hike the whole way, but I was concerned about the snow and river crossings in the Sierras. It came as a great surprise to me how hard it was to continue hiking when I was tired. There were many times I would have liked to quit, but I knew that if I did quit, I would regret it later, so I was determined to finish. 100's of photos.< Less
Inspiring and entertaining account of a 4300km solo hike from Mexico to Canada along the Pacific Crest Trail.
Despite never having hiked before, George Spearing decided to take 'leave of absence'... More > from his job as a firefighter in the New Zealand Fire Service and walk the length of America.
Travelling entirely on foot and off road, his five month journey takes him through the desert areas and snowbound High Sierra Nevada of California, the Cascade ranges of Oregon and Washington and finally emerges in the Okanogan Forest of British Columbia, Canada.

The lively easily read style, along with several images, provides an entertaining and inspiring read for anyone contemplating hiking the Pacific Crest Trail or for anyone who enjoys a good adventure story.< Less
