Another book about and adventure I'd never want to try, but one that was fun to read about. ( )

Before Cheryl Strayed wrote Wild and her book was made into the movie of the same title, was Colin Fletcher. There wasn't even a Pacific Crest Trail yet. Thus, in an era when backpacking gear was primitive, Fletcher put on his pack and walked the length of California -- south to north. His experiences of places, people and inner thoughts is worth the read. ( )
