Hello everyone;
I'm new to the site. I found it a couple of weeks ago and signed up because I have been looking for new travel/outdoor non-fiction to read. I recently came across Meeting Mr. Ed: A Journey of Discovery on the Appalachian Trail. It opened me up to a new world of self published travel writing. It is one of the best books I've read in some time because it combines a description of several hikes on the Appalachian Trail with the Biography of Mr. Ed, the authors Father. I read it in three nights because I could not put it down. If anyone has ever read Ghost Rider by Neil Peart (Rush's drummer), this book is in a similar format.
What else is out there like this? Anyone have suggestions?
By the way, Meeting Mr. Ed has an awesome web site and you can order signed copies of the book directly from the author. The site is meetingmred.com. I am ordering another copy to give to my Dad on Father's Day. The father/son dynamic in the book is awesome!
