Dennis Blanchard's
promise to his brother haunted him for over forty years. Finally, when
there were no more excuses, he set out on the Appalachian Trail to
fulfill that promise. He learned that walking in the wilderness can
reconnect one with a Norman Rockwell America that at times seems long
lost and forgotten. The difficulties encountered walking over 2,200
miles are easily underestimated and trouble can begin long before
setting a first step on the trail. Blanchard's introspective
demonstrates that bears, rattlesnakes and challenging terrain may be far
less formidable than some of life's more subtle dangers.
