I just finished reading this book on kindle. The title is,
"I Hike
Mostly True Stories from 10,000 Miles of Hiking"
By: Lawton Grinter.
Very good reading and entertaining. It is a bunch of stories from all of his hiking adventures..from the AT to the PCT to the JMT and beyond. It had some humor to it also which brough me to chuckle because some of the things you can totaly relate to what he is describing. It is a fun book and if you enjoy hiking and camping then I would most deffinetly recomend reading this book.

It is a great book for sure! I enjoyed it a lot. Also, if you haven't already, Lawton also does "The Trail Show" podcasts, with a few of the other characters in the book... check it out here:
