Quotes from the same author

My motivation to keep hiking was rooted in the magnificent details of the Appalachian Mountains, and the more I poured myself out - the more energy I gave the trail - the more it gave me in return.

Food is like a torture device because hiking 47 miles a day is hard enough. And then you're trying to get down 6,000 calories a day.

You're not enjoying it - you're seriously shoving it in your mouth and following it with water, juice or Gatorade.
