Friday on the Trail

Usually I’m not blogging about my book, and I really think that it is an enjoyable read. The book yearns, to figure out how I acquired this obsession. It must have started at birth. Nothing triggered it. It just happened. It’s affected everything and most everyone in my life. We journey through the years longing, hoping and expecting the answers. We find a myriad of them. The stories are true and deal with adventure, happiness, hard-ships and humor…even a touch of sadness. You will laugh with us through the crazy antics. You’ll feel the anxiety of looking down and seeing nothing but space for hundreds of feet.


These backpacking tales will beg you to spring off of the couch and embrace the open fresh air… the breathtaking scenery…the culmination of friends, siblings, sons and daughters. Also; the hardships, the down-pouring in buckets of rain…the soreness from the cutting straps of the gargantuan backpacks, filled with only the essentials to survive.

The catastrophes and the calamities that we endure bring us together. I don’t pull through. You don’t pull through. We pull through! (Besides when everything is nice and peachy and graceful and soft and good…it makes for a boring story). The worse…the better. Just sit back and enjoy one of the most pleasant books that you’ve ever read. It has memoirs from my childhood to todays’ time about backpacking Treks and how I came to love the sport.

My reviews have been very good. I’ve sold a fair amount of copies and that alone should be somewhat of an indicator. It’s easy to find and buy. I offer it on my website (bottom of this blog); most bookstores either have it for sale or will order it for you. It’s featured on “Amazon” in: Canada, US, Germany, England, China (and some other countries…I forget). My publisher “Publish America” has it available through their site. If you just want to read it and not purchase it, you can go to some of the libraries in Essex County Ontario Canada and just borrow it. Also the Librarian at the main branch in Windsor loved it and purchased 3 copies; one for the main library; one for a branch in the East end; one for the historical archives.

Thanks for taking a peek and letting me bend your ear.
