Did you feel you had to give up on that dream when you grew up? Jim Haskell began dreaming about hiking the twenty-two-hundred-mile Appalachian Trail when he was nineafter being left behind one weekend when his father and older siblings climbed Mount Katahdin  the northern end of the AT  in their native Maine. The dream became an obsession. But then life got in the way. College. Marriage. Graduate school. Career. By his late twenties  Jim had nearly convinced himself that taking a year off to hike the AT just wouldnt work. The dream was dyinguntil an encounter with a disenchanted thru-hiker inspired Jim to revise his dream. Dont thru-hike the AT in one year. Take your time. Section-hike it instead. Two Tents is Jims account of living his dream for twenty-one consecutive years. Two Tents became his trail name. This book is much more than an account of Jims encounters with bears and close calls with death. Its about how the AT became Jims path to self-discovery; how a man matures during his thirties and forties; how love can be lost and found again; how one embraces fatherhood. Two Tents is about making dreams come true.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45495955095605,"sku":"ByrdShop_1633810585","price":70.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781633810587.jpg?v=1780904232","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/two-tents-twentyone-years-of-discovery-on-the-appalachian-trail-9781633810587","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
