From the e book: “We stood for a second earlier than the venerable signpost marking the summit. Scored with graffiti and the fixed onslaught of climate, it stands maybe three ft excessive, a picket A-frame painted Forest Service brown with recessed white letters:
KATAHDIN 5268 ft.
Northern Terminus of the Appalachian Path
Under this had been just a few waypoints: Thoreau Spring, 1.0, Katahdin Stream Campground, 5.2. On the backside of the checklist: Springer Mountain, Georgia, 2160.2. Greater than two thousand miles. It was merely a quantity, too massive and incomprehensible to have any bearing on me. The farthest I had ever walked in a day was ten miles and that was with a daypack. Now I used to be considering a journey of months, protecting hundreds of miles. Unexpectedly, there on the summit with the clouds screaming previous us, it did not seem to be such an amazing thought.
I turned to my sister, half-expecting to see the identical doubt mirrored in her face. However her eyes had been shining, and she or he smiled with an virtually feral depth. It was a glance I’d come to know all too nicely over the subsequent 12 months and a half, and it meant, I’m going to do that and nobody had higher attempt to cease me. ‘We’re actually doing this,’ she shouted over the wind’s howl and the lashing rain. ‘We’re climbing the Appalachian Path!'”
On the ages of twenty-five and twenty-one, Lucy and Susan Letcher got down to accomplish what hundreds of individuals try annually: thru-hike your complete 2,175 miles of the Appalachian Path. The distinction between them and the others? They determined to hike the path barefoot. Rapidly incomes themselves the moniker of the Barefoot Sisters, the 2 start their journey at Mount Katahdin and spend eight months making their approach to Springer Mountain in Georgia. As they hike, they write about their adventures by the 100-mile Wilderness, the rocky terrain of Pennsylvania, and snowfall within the Nice Smoky Mountains–a story stuffed with humor and dedication. It is as shut as one can get to climbing the Appalachian Path with out strapping on a pack.
