Evergreen Dreaming: Trail Tales of an Aging Hiker

Peter Kurtz

4.9/5 (32771 ratings)

Description:A 55-year-old man with a yen for the outdoors feels time running out. One day he decides to dig out his old backpack from the basement and hike a section of the Appalachian Trail. He doesn’t know that this weeklong hike through Georgia and North Carolina will propel him into other mountain adventures, culminating in a mystical trip to the Continental Divide to follow the footsteps of a childhood friend. In this thoughtful, well-written memoir, Peter Kurtz leads the reader along dirt paths across multiple mountains, meeting eccentric characters, battling blisters and boulders, and sharing one campsite with a disgruntled bear. Along the way, he candidly shares his thoughts on age, environment, culture, and technology. His walking stick, which he names “Kip,” becomes a companion and talisman, helping to trigger potent memories that eventually result in a hike into the “red-orange glow of the West” to get closer to the real Kip. EVERGREEN DREAMING is a story about memory, aging, and the pursuit of natural in an increasingly artificial society. It is also a powerful tale of friendship and love. "Entertaining...charming memoir...encourages wilderness purists to chase their dreams, regardless of age"—Publishers Weekly “I like this book even more than James Brown’s 'Live at the Apollo' album”—Matt Angerer, the real “Stephen Katz” from the book and movie "A Walk in the Woods" "Peter Kurtz personifies the spirit of the Appalachian Trail, which is of course America's trail, and the Continental Divide Trail, which I personally chickened out on. His tale is an authentic one and worthy of your time to read"—Bill Walker, author of "Skywalker: Close Encounters on the Appalachian Trail" and "Skywalker: Highs and Lows on the Pacific Crest Trail"We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
