Walkabout is about the people, places, and experiences that you discover when you step out on the trail. In this novel, you will meet peakbaggers, daytrippers, thru-hikers, tribes, ruckers, and the earthy set, all finding their way to whatever that five miles at a time reveals to them at different moments. You will hear from people on the Appalachian Trail who have hiked it from one end to the other. People that seek peeks in a way that adds a bit of ambiguity. How to prepare for your first hike and things to not forget to remember on your thousandth hike. Learning to deal with the deuce. Utilizing hiking for mental health and self discovery, mindfulness and slowing down and being present. Finding trail magic and meeting trail angels. You will read about hikes with friends and solo hikes in just about every part of the United States and a bucket list hike in Peru. Lace them up, top off your water, bring a snack, and let's hit the trail.
