More Notes from the Field: Notes from the Field, cartea 2

Autor Kirk Ward Robinson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 noi 2019
In this sequel to Notes from the Field: A Diary of Journeys Near and Far, Robinson continues his journeys to places near and far, always peering around the corner for those insights that leave enduring legacies. Traveling on foot or bicycle, this very vulnerability leads him toward the greatest rewards, from chance encounters to hardships overcome to lasting friendships. Through excerpts from his travel diaries, in prose spare, vivid, and starkly honest, Robinson recounts a healing foray onto the Pacific Crest Trail, a reconnection with friends and history in the French Alps, a segue to Greece to fulfill an old goal, an artistic escape to the West Indies, and a day-by-day recollection of a third Appalachian Trail thru-hike. His journeys appeal to adventurer and armchair traveler alike, and, as Robinson discovers, despite encroaching age there are more journeys to come.
