5.0 out of 5 stars
Enjoyable; as if you could see, smell, feel the surrounding.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dream Trail (Paperback)
I found the description of the mountains, exhilerating. Mrs. Twitty's account of how she was inspired to get her book written, while on Mt. Moosealauke, was poetically written and inspiring; pages 259-60. As to how this lady could accomplish the feat of hiking the AT at her age, and get a beautifully written book all in one lifetime, is remarable and should let us all know what we could be capable of.

Reads like a letter from a friend on the Appalachian Trail.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dream Trail (Paperback)
Mrs. Twitty describes her experience hiking the Appalachian Trail one section at a time. Although this is her first book, it reads like a letter from an old friend who shares every step of the 2,160 mile journey from Georgia to Maine finishing at the age of 63, after eleven years.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Nice way to travel the AT from your chair!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dream Trail (Paperback)
By following an atlas, I could hike with Den Mama from state to state on the AT, enjoy her excitement minus the hiking boots and the weather. Mary's imagery, especially as she retired at night is exceptional! Poetic at times! I could also appreciate the historical tidbits that she added to educate us as she trailed along. That took research on her part. An enjoyable book by a lady who knows how to hike and how to enjoy Mother Nature.
