JohnGo Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 He was a hero my mine. I've read The Man who Walked Through Time and The 1,000 Mile Summer 3 times each. Wowzer, he hiked the length of California on his own route, before the PCT existed. The Complete Walker was and is the best backpacking book written. He solo floated the entire length of the Colorado River when he was well into his 60's. He was a truly great man who paved the way for most backpackers today. Quote
