Excellent narrative of a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest (National Scenic) Trail by a hiker from New Zealand. ( )

A fairly entertaining tale of a Kiwi's hike up the Pacific Crest trail. To quote George: "Every day was a physical and mental challenge, but every day I had a goal and a sense of achievment." I also think he sums up why to explore nature in the last lines where he has a great John Muir quote:

"You may be a little cold some nights, on mountain tops above the timber-line, but you will see the stars, and by and by you can sleep enough in your town bed, or at least in your grave." ( )
