In 2005 a now ex-wife of mine and myself embarked on the journey of a lifetime. We chose the famous Appalachian Trail (AT) as our destination to make personal history. Being novice hikers, as we were, we were ill-prepared for the hike ahead but we had no idea since this would be the first time, we had stepped foot on the Appalachian Trail. We had no idea what we were getting into. I kept day-by-day journal entries, of those 30 fated days and 16 years later have decided to turn those into this book. In a sense, I was following an internal guide, one that led me to this trail with a sense of ...

“So much for getting away from it all,” he muttered. Her eyes widened as she followed his pointing finger.

The duo were private investigators and lived for the days they could get onto the challenging trails. This day was just that, with the receding death of winter and emerging life of spring. Life and death—nature’s ongoing cycle. But nature was interrupted with a different type of death. The man lay at the bottom of a dangerous drop-off at the edge of the ...

Well, I thought for sure this was it. I was going to die. Almost out of water in the middle of the wilderness. Rabbit food for sustenance which is all my vegan sister had packed. No trail map. Not certain we were even ON a trail. No cell phone service. No first aid kit and all three of us were bleeding from at least one wound.

My blood sugar level was in the basement. I felt like i was about to keel over. I was a goner. Why had I let ...

I'm not in the habit of personally recreating the films of Martin Sheen, but a chance viewing of "The Way" changed all that. Somewhat strangely, the touching tale of a father who treks across Spain in tribute to a son who has passed away on a pilgrimage lit a spark in me that just would not go out. That spark, a desire to follow in his footsteps on the Way of St James to Santiago de Compostela, burned ever brighter in my mind until I set aside the last few weeks of my 40s to start my own Camino de Santiago. Of course, I soon discovered that the Hollywood version of The Way of St James was a...
