I liked this book better than "AWOL On The Appalachian Trail"; aside from some brief politicizing (all of which I agreed with and I understand why the author included it), it doesn't have the same feel as "AWOL" but presents the experience with more wit. The single greatest difference is the authors' perspective on FOOD: "AWOL" focuses a great deal on the need to obtain more and more nutrition at every possible place (off the trail) while "A Walk..." focuses more on the things I would most likely notice: surroundings and the ever present thought, "Why the HECK am I doing this?" Why, indeed.
