Thousand Miler by Melanie Radzicki McManus Book PDF Summary
Head "into the wild" on a thru-hiking journey along the famous Ice Age Trail with wanderer and wonderer Melanie Radzicki McManus. In thirty-six days, McManus hiked the National Scenic Trail's 1,100 miles, landing her in the elite group of thru-hikers known as the "Thousand-Milers." In prose that's alternately harrowing and humorous, she winds readers through forests, prairies, wetlands, and farms and into the neighborhood bars and gathering places of far-flung small towns. Woven throughout are details of the trail's history and helpful insights for undertaking a successful thru-hike.
