"The best thing to do in the summer is to backpack. But if you can't backpack, then read this great forthcoming book about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, by Barney Scout Mann. It made me long for the trail." - Nicholas Kristof, NY Times Columnist Gather Around Barney Scout Mann's Campfire... "Few things are more innately human, rooted deeply in our shared history, than storytelling and traversing land masses on foot. In Journeys North, master storyteller Barney Scout Mann invites us to gather around his campfire as he weaves the narratives of ordinary people hiking thousands of miles across desert and mountains. The unfolding of their stories against the backdrop of nature at her most sublime, and her most fierce, reveals their primal humanness in powerful relief. Their interactions, with nature and with each other, prove that we are more connected and wildly capable than we believe." -- Heather “Anish” Anderson, adventurer and author of Thirst Excerpt from Journeys North: "Happy birthday, Frodo," Blazer piped up. We jerked as if poked. In the thirty years we'd been married, I'd never forgotten Frodo's birthday. But this time, focused on the cold, on not getting lost, and on surviving, we both had. "What do you want for your birthday?" Blazer asked. Frodo, her breath visible, didn't hesitate: "I want to finish the day alive." Two more storms swept in over the next three days, smothering the Pacific Crest Trail in thigh-high drifts. On Thursday night Seattle King 5 TV News reported: "Three Pacific Crest Trail hikers are missing." Chatter lit up the internet within minutes. "Goodness, it's so cold now." "May the Lord protect them." Past midnight, one of sixty soon-to-be-rescuers wrote: "I am headed out to Stevens Pass to work the search." But they weren't searching for us. They were searching for Nadine.
