5.0 out of 5 starsOne of the very best...
By Gordon H. Ripley on February 2, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I have a whole bookcase filled with hiking books. Most of them are about the Appalachian Trail as I am a thru hiker myself. This book is really a terrific read and certainly spells out the reality of life on the trail. I have to be honest, as I read about "Nomads'" first couple of days on the trail in Florida I was amazed at the perseverance of this man. Quite frankly, I would have quit when I found myself in the dark up to my waste in swamp water - water containing who knows what critters! He also took time during his hike to stop and meet people. Rarely did he give anyone the impression that he just had to get going and didn't have time to talk. I'd like to have met him in my travels. His age at the time (59) reminded me of my hiking at that age. I think anyone who would like to share the travails of long distance hiking from their comfortable arm chair will enjoy this book!

4.0 out of 5 starsPhysical, Mental, and Spiritual Odyssey
By Red School Morgan on December 29, 2009
Format: Paperback
This is the journal of M.J. Eberhart, a retired optometrist, who walked from Key West, Florida to Cap Gaspe, Quebec, not necessarily in that order. Each entry contains his mileage, where he slept that night, a short poem or quote and his thoughts and descriptions of his travails and the people he met on the way. Mr. Eberhart is a kind, decent man who never has a bad word to say about anyone. Everyone he meets is a friend, and I mean that in an admiring way. Despite having done something few others have ever done before he is not the least bit boastful.

I enjoyed meeting fellow hikers and seeing the Florida, Appalachain, and International Appalachain Trail through his eyes. This is not a "how to" book. There are no real maps and the paperback edition has only a few black and white pictures.

Mr. Eberhart does describe his motivation for making this hike. I only wish he went a little deeper. He shies away from his Christianity to an extent which may have been at the insistence of his publisher, which publishes hiking and adventure books. We also don't hear much about what led to this journey. I'd imagine working in a windowless eye examining room for many years would give someone the impetus to get outside.

Those minor criticisms aside, it was a fun read and I'd recommend it to anyone with even a mild case of wanderlust.

Almost like a story Santa Claus would write if he were to walk from FL to Canada on the Eastern Continental Trail...jolly, whimsical and upbeat. Restores hope in America... hope in humanity and hope in one's self.

Wow what an accomplishment and what a story. Eb is also a wonderful man and it was very refreshing to read of his positive outlook and appreciation for every kindness show to him. I love reading trail journal style books and this is near the top of around 20 read.

5.0 out of 5 starsInspiring
By Diana McEachran on April 2, 2014
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I was pleasantly surprised to find a book written by my "old" optometrist about his journey along the trails from Key West to Canada. I never realized or thought about all the obstacles you would meet along the way. It is something I will never do but enjoyed "walking" the trail with him. My hat's off to him for making this journey and all the other journey's he has taken. I can only imagine through his words some of the sites and people he encountered on his journey. Written in a journal format it was easy to read and you can put it down for a few days and pick it up again and read along the way.

5.0 out of 5 starsI love this character author
By scott a dietz on June 26, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I am only partially through this adventure, but I am enthralled. I love this character author. He is well read with handy man type knowledge that works well with illustrating this grand adventure. I love his little bit of historical knowledge of these areas and would love to know more. The hours slip by as I travel with him doing something I would give much to have a chance at doing. Wonderful read.

By Lady Jane on October 3, 2009
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I purchased this book for my husband whom ran into Mr. Eberhard while hiking in MI. on the north country trail. I want to say how much he enjoyed reading this book. It carried him on the trail beside Nimblewill. I know he was sorry the book came to a close. But he will remember meeting Nimblewill on the North Country Trail for a very long time. We also hope your knee is recovering, We have read how this trek came to a close. Best wish'es to You,
