(Lulu Press, 2022).

This book details the making of the award-winning documentary, North to Katahdin on the Appalachian Trail, which has aired regularly on the Vermont PBS station. The author notes, “I wrote this book to tell the whole story of my thru hike of the Appalachian Trail in 1984. Not the highlights, not part of the tale, but the full story. It’s a true story of thru hiking in the era of heavy packs. A personal drama of losing and finding love and an improbable tale of a film production on the Appalachian Trail. My first of the Triple Crown long-distance hikes.”
