Here is what people are saying about

“Exploring the Appalachian Trail by RV, Sort of….”


"This book is as charming as the support team themselves. A six-month journey along the Appalachian Trail proves “trail angels” do exist! Informative...lots of maps, web addresses and a teamwork approach to details."
Barb Blythe - 20-year member, Appalachian Mountain Club


“I am probably biased (my mom is the author and my parents provided trail support to us on our 2006 thru-hike), but I enjoyed reading about the trail adventure from their perspectives. We have read many trail memoirs from thru-hikers, but this is a unique story.

On a practical note, we have had the opportunity when driving along the trail since 2006 to use the information contained in the book to successfully find the trail and road crossings! For anyone familiar with "A Guide to Car-Hiking the Appalachian Trail" this book contains more updated maps/guidance to trail heads (with multiple locations in each State) as well as information on local campgrounds along the trail.”
