Everyone raves about the book but it didn't work for me. It sounds like you had some issues with it as well. A Pearl in the Storm sounds interesting. I am pretty sure that I wouldn't make it if I tried something like rowing across an ocean...I am not sure I could make it across a small pond.

I have both read Bryson's book and have hiked the entire length of the AT. I think he is try trying to be funny by talking so much about bears and you're right about the danger of the moose. I came across one face-to-face in a swampy part of the trail in Maine. The vegetation was so thick and I was hiking and talking to a guy who was behind me. We came around a bend and there was a huge set of antlers in front of me--I froze and thankfully the moose did a 90 degree turn and made a new path through the swamp. <br /><br />www.thepulpitandthepen.comJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18339789596944683688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-15636276853128384822018-12-22T11:01:58.953-07:002018-12-22T11:01:58.953-07:00I really like adventure stories... probably becaus...I really like adventure stories... probably because I'm not all that adventurous myself.
