Outside Reading-Amanda Ewen

Outside Reading- Awol on the Appalachian Trail-Chapter 3


            One of the most meaningful things that I read in this book was when David said, “ In spite of the difficulties, this is where I want to be.”  Even though he has many physical aliments, the cold, and lack of sleep hiking the trail is still what he wants to be doing.  I did not realize how determined and happy the hikers are to be doing this hike.  David explains the weight loss that happens while hiking the trail. He lost a sufficient amount of weight in only three weeks.  He also describes how work for stay works.  You work around the hostel instead of paying for a night.  I found this book to be very informative and fun to read.  I appreciated the insight into hiking the trail.
