Where's the Next Shelter? is the true story of three travelers on the Appalachian Trail, a 2,000-mile hike that stretches from Georgia to Maine, told from the perspective of Gary Sizer, a seasoned backpacker and former marine who quickly finds himself humbled by the endeavor. He teams up with Megan, a sassy college grad whose indomitable spirit eclipses her lack of experience; and Lemmy, a cartoonist from overseas whose off-kilter commentary on the wonders and frustrations of the trail keeps everyone laughing.

Sprawling through the woods and towns of the Appalachian Mountains, the trail carries the trio through real and fanciful ups and downs ranging from hilarious to perilous. Much more than an orderly account of mountaintops and meals, this book is an adventure about friends figuring things out as they go. It's about screwups and solutions, awe and inspiration.

If you long for the horizon or to sleep under the stars, then come along for the hike of a lifetime. All you have to do is take the first step.

This audio book is vey well done and quite entertaining to listen to. Being a through hiker myself it is great to see an AT book written that represents a real through hike.

Great Book

This is a great audio-read and I highly recommend for those who have or have thought about going on an expedition. The first week of listening was very enjoyable and often times I felt that I was actually on the AT with Green Giant. However, I will say that the remaining 4 to 5 chapters were a bit long-winded and I eventually lost interest. Perhaps it's just me and I may return back to the remaining chapters later but; overall, Where's The Next Shelter? is definitely worth the download and listen.

Thanks Green Giant!

I listened to this audiobook on the way to and from work everyday for the past 2 weeks. It was amazing and genuinely lifted me out of my current life with all of the daily stress and anxiety that I normally experience and accept as inevitable. I looked forward to hearing Gary's voice every morning and was eager to find out what interesting characters we would run into that day on the green tunnel. by the end it felt like a tearful goodbye with a beloved family member to hear him say he had reached the end of the trail. I'm so inspired. I've begun taking day trips and may one day hike the Appalachian Trail myself. thank you so much Green Giant!!

inspiring!

I was hesitant to get this book because after listening to A Walk in the Woods, I didn't know how any book could be as good... But this one was!! I finished it in two days! I am very particular with books, they hafta be damn good to keep my attention, and this book certainly did that! The narration was fantastic, as was the storyline.. I highly recommend this book!!

Great. Book!!!
