Have you ever wanted to visit Machu Picchu, or witness the Northern Lights? To explore remote landscapes where no boot has tread, no shutter ever snapped? You can.... Before he became Green Giant on the Appalachian Trail, Gary Sizer was a Marine, a computer nerd, and a guy with a problem. No matter how much time he spends outside, it's never enough. Whether being thrashed by drill instructors at Parris Island or drenched by a squall in a high tundra, the same calming thought always prevailed: It's good to be outside.

At 22, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to hike the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State - and to do it alone. She had no experience as a long-distance hiker, and the trail was little more than “an idea, vague and outlandish and full of promise.” But it was a promise of piecing back together a life that had come undone.

The Appalachian Trail trail stretches from Georgia to Maine and covers some of the most breathtaking terrain in America - majestic mountains, silent forests, sparking lakes. If you’re going to take a hike, it’s probably the place to go. And Bill Bryson is surely the most entertaing guide you’ll find. He introduces us to the history and ecology of the trail and to some of the other hardy (or just foolhardy) folks he meets along the way - and a couple of bears. Already a classic, A Walk in the Woods will make you long for the great outdoors (or at least a comfortable chair to sit and read in).

Hig survived the flu that killed everyone he knows. His wife is gone, his friends are dead, he lives in the hangar of a small abandoned airport with his dog, his only neighbor a gun-toting misanthrope. In his 1956 Cessna, Hig flies the perimeter of the airfield or sneaks off to the mountains to fish and to pretend that things are the way they used to be. But when a random transmission somehow beams through his radio, the voice ignites a hope deep inside him that a better life exists beyond the airport.

The tale begins with Gil, who in the wake of his father’s death and recently fired from his job, agrees to accompany his father’s old hiking partner Syd on a month-long trek on the John Muir Trail.

Publisher's summary
Bob Davidson's father, Joe "Pops" Davidson, has died. After selling the estate, Bob goes on the road, but he has a passenger along - Joe's ashes, sitting in an urn in Bob's camper, riding in the bed of his old Chevy pickup. Joe's last wishes were for Bob to spread his ashes on top of the Grand Teton in Wyoming - a request Bob's not sure he can accomplish.
Travel with Bob as he drives across the great American Southwest, visiting stunning national parks, flying over Mono Lake in an ultralight aircraft, and even knocking on the back gate of Area 51. The whole time Bob's thinking of Joe, yet delaying his father's remarkable final request. But then, Bob finally meets up with his destiny in the mountains near Jackson.

Like a well-crafted stage play, Just Passin' Thru delivers one suspenseful scene after another. But in this historic setting a store on the Appalachian Trail called Mountain Crossings the characters who show up are no fictional creations. Like any good drama, there are the good guys (and gals) and the weirdos, too. Some show up once (and that’s enough), and some appear again and again. But all are united by two things: the author’s story-capturing talent, and whatever it is that lures them to attempt (or conquer) a 2,200-mile path that climbs and plummets from Georgia to Maine.

Like a well-crafted stage play, Just Passin' Thru delivers one suspenseful scene after another. But in this historic setting a store on the Appalachian Trail called Mountain Crossings the characters who show up are no fictional creations. Like any good drama, there are the good guys (and gals) and the weirdos, too. Some show up once (and that’s enough), and some appear again and again. But all are united by two things: the author’s story-capturing talent, and whatever it is that lures them to attempt (or conquer) a 2,200-mile path that climbs and plummets from Georgia to Maine.

Twenty-two years old Cole Morgan struggled after a career ending football injury and then the tragic loss of his parents in the winter of 1937. He felt like a man with no destination... running from lost opportunities and memories better left alone. Maybe it was for this reason he accepted the offer of a near stranger to use his education and backcountry skills to work on the Greybull, one of the largest ranches in Wyoming. With little fanfare he packed all his worldly possessions in his beloved truck and headed for the small town of Meeteetsee.

What an epic adventure!
Would you listen to On the Road with Joe again? Why?
First, the narrator, Richard Henzel, is the best. You can't get better. And the story is superb - a journey into a man's difficult relationship with his now-passed dad and his impossible request to spread his ashes from the Grand Teton. The journey takes us into snippits of his past with his difficult father while traveling, trying to reconcile his own failures in life with his dad's influences. The story has that authenticity that comes from truth, as well as components of the hero's journey into peace with past and present. It's hard to describe, but this writer has a way with description that takes you right there into the landscape and his life. Well done and highly recommend. Yes, I will listen again.
What did you like best about this story?
It was like climbing and exploring yourself, it was that vivid. I almost feel like I've been to Colorado's San Juan Mountains and Mono Lake and all the other stunning places the book takes you to.
Have you listened to any of Richard Henzel’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
Yes, and this is as good as ever. He's a master actor.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Many moments. The one where he's returning to the San Juans after his dad dies and remembering going there with him is great, awesome description. The book's not at all maudlin, but actually the opposite. He had a tough relationship with his dad, so the sublime moments in the landscape and his travels are sprinkled with the opposite hard times with his dad.
Any additional comments?
Really good writing and narration.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
