The printed day-by-day journal of Joel (Mojave) Clark's thru-hike of the 2,658 mile Pacific Crest Trail in 2006. Details the "fun" of hiking with an obsessive-compulsive trail partner; but also the beauty, the bizarre, and the techniques of hiking from Mexico to Canada.
Customer Reviews
Enjoyed the book
It's about the trail and people on the trail. One of whom sees his hiking partner as a hindrance instead of his best asset. The moral I took from the story is don't be that guy (awareness is the first step of prevention). On the complete flip side, the author runs into some amazing and ginning characters that make the PCT trail great.
A good read
This book has plenty of personality: the personality of the writer, his hiking partner, other hikers and trail angles, and most importantly, the personality of the Pacific Crest Trail.
I kept reading to see what would happen around the next corner.
Enjoy!
Grating
All though I have not thru hiked the PCT , I have sectioned hiked much of California . The book almost seems fictional compared to my experiences on the trail. The author doesn't seem to understand the trail experience .The negative and condescending comments about his hiking partner,and or anyone else he meets on or off the trail are grating. I was able to read about half the book hopeing it would get better but it doesn't . Was not able to finish . Waste of money!
