review 1: A real gem of a book about Jennifer and her record-making hiking trip on the Appalachian Trail. I am in awe of her ability to hike 10 or more hours per day (at 3-4 miles per hour) averaging 47 miles per day, and to keep it up for 46 days. She was supported by her husband, Brew, who met her at road-points her with supplies, snacks and encouragement, and by a cadre of hiking friends who gave emotional support as well. She writes her story with a wry sense of humor that made me feel as though I was seeing the trip through her very eyes, and feeling the dirt, grime and sweat too. It made me want to put hiking the AT on my bucket list, although probably in short day hikes. You will enjoy this book.
review 2: after her first AT recollection, I wondered what else... more could be gained from reading about the second, or just whether it was worth my time. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it, especially the cast of characters that join her during her difficult quest. Often I will run for many hours in a day, but to think of getting up day and after, with just a few hours of sleep, and hiking that far. Wow. Congratulations to Jen, I look forward to drinking moonshine with her again soon. less
