A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson

***Apologies for the background noise on this episode. Chewing and typing sounds may occur.***

In 1996, Bill Bryson was one among many thousands of hikers who attempted to hike the entire Appalachian Trail. Joined by an old friend, Katz, the two amateur hikers set out to walk the over 2,000-mile journey and see what they learn along the way.

This was a very different kind of nature memoir for Michelle. Rather than healing past wounds or conquering a mighty unknown, the two hikers learn far more about how to appreciate hamburgers and exactly what time is quitting time (spoiler alert: it's sooner than you'd think!) Kicking off Season 3 of Circle Time, your hosts found appreciation for Bryson's mellow and accessible outlook on nature and outdoor adventure.
